Lead weight. One half of a plain thin cast discoid weight, with knife-cut edge; patinated. The mass leaves a wide date range open. It now equates to ten units of 4.43gms, as used in Viking Age Norway and also the Viking 'kingdom' of York and Dublin. The implication is that this could derive from the reduction of a twenty unit weight, which would be at the high end of the range of values represented by such objects. It might as easily represent the less precise halving of a quarter pound weight [of 87.5gms] under the Tower Weight System - used for bread as well as for silver - of c.115…

The convex surface is somewhat irregular, and this could arise from relict traces of moulded decoration on the master from which the mould was made, though it may equally merely be miscasting. The form corresponds to Walton Rogers form A1, which with a spindle whorl of this size could point to an Anglo-Scandinavian date. However, if the surface irregularities do arise from the carrying over of decoration, this would suggest the mould to have been taken from one half of a bico…
