Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast lead weight of probable Roman date. The weight is tall and plano-convex in plan with a central rod of iron projecting from the base and apex. Both end of the rod have split terminals and were most probably used for suspension. The metal has a mid whitish-brown colour and is worn. The weight is 24.8mm tall, 15.8mm in diameter and weighs 24.6g. Plain weights were cast locally in lead from the Roman period onwards for a wide variety of uses and are hard to date precisely. However, it is likely that this example is Roman in date.
