Lead goldsmiths weight, square in plan and rectangular in profile, with a raised single fleur de lis with a transverse band at the centre on the obverse and what appears to be a cross-hatched pattern on the reverse, but the surface is too worn to make out the detail.

Biggs and Withers (2000) illustrate similar lead goldsmiths weights with banded fleurs de lis on the obverse and cross-hatched reverses, whi…
