The metal is pitted and scratched and has a uniform dark grey colour. The weight’s mass of approximately 1kg suggests that the weight is probably modern, and likely to date from 1799 at the earliest, which is when the decision was taken to…

A cast lead quatrefoil weight of possible medieval to early post-medieval date. No exact parallel could be found for this piece, but smaller quatrefoil goldsmith's weights are known (see, for example, N. Biggs and P. Withers; 2000; pp. 49). It is possible that this larger piece, which may be of a heraldic design, is linked to the medieval shield-shaped weight series. The three-dimensional weight consists of four petal-shaped lobes of equal size and nature. One of the surfaces appears to have been flattened, creating the impression of a central cross. The rounded end of one of the pe…
