Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead and glass Weight. Cast lead plano-convex domed weight with three transparent colourless glass beads embedded in its upper surface. Weights with embedded objects are an Early Medieval form. The mass of this example is equivalent to one slightly overweight uncia or Roman ounce (of 27.3gms), and the Middle Saxon use of Roman weights and measures after the Conversion would seem to provide the most appropriate context for its use. The distinction of plano-convex counters with embedded objects has also encouraged their identification as game pieces for hnafetafl, in which a king was di…
