Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy cup weight of Post-Medieval date. The cup has a flat base and gently flaring sides, most of which have striations cutting into the metal and presumably the result of disturbance by agricultural machinery. The rim is flat and the cup is c.3.2mm in thickness, 24.44mm in diamter across the base and is 21.28mm in height. There are two concentric lines incised around the centre, both inside and out, presumably defining a measure. The cup weighs 53.83g (1.9 oz), and may be part of a nested set. The object's density suggests a high lead content within the copper alloy.
