An incomplete lead alloy plumbob dating to the Medieval period. The weight is oval in plan and cross-section with a central decorated panel on each face. The decorated panel on each face sits within an oval depression with the decoration on one face consisting of a zig-zag ridge running the length of the panel with three pellets between each turn of the ridge. The opposite face of the object is decorated with an scroll pattern.
The top of the object is incomplete and is dished with a projection at each edge. These projections would have expanded to form an attachment loop when complete. The object has a mid-white patina and is in good condition.
Dimensions: 62mm in length, 18mm in width, 8mm thick, 66.3g

A published parallel is from Abbotts Bromley, Staffordshire which bears an inscription 'ROGER' which allows it to be dated to the 13th-first half or the 14th century (Alexander, J and Binski, P 1987, Age of Chivalry, Art in Plantagenet England, 1200-1400, Weidenfeld and Nicholson, London, p. 384, No. 427).

An incomplete lead alloy plumbob dating to the medieval period. The weight is oval in plan and cross-section with a central decorated panel on each face. The decorated panel on each face sits within an oval depression with the decoration consisting of a series of pellets and diagonal ridged lines.
One end of the object is incomplete and is dished with a projection at each edge. These projections would have expanded to form an attachment loop when complete. Similar line and pellet decoration is commonly found on medieval spindle whorls.
