Lead shield shaped Medieval trade weight. It has a raised design on the front face of a fleur-de-lis, which has been slightly blundered. There is a lowered border around the edge. The reverse is flat and plain. This type of weight would have been used by merchants at fairs, markets or shops to weigh goods. Mostly they employed the avoirdupois system, which was used from AD 1390 in England. Lead shield-shaped weights of various qualities of workmanship and numerous designs have been in use over a long period of time. Therefore due to the lack of any further contextual evidence it…

An incomplete copper alloy trebuchet or tumbrel-type folding coin balance probably dating to the 13th, 14th or 15th century.

The object is 90.40mm long and 6.12mm thick. It is 10.19mm wide at the wdest point and 8.62mm at the narrowest, when measured closed. …

The central motif appears to be either a corn ear or another plant. The inscription reads 'S'INCH....' So it is a person seal, unfortunately not enough of the legend can be made out to work out who owned it. On the reverse, near to the top is a small rounded loop, now filled with mud.

The lower prong appears complete and has a octagonal cross-section. The upper prong has broken close to the handle. From more complete examples it is likely that this prong would have continued on to the bit. For reference see number 29 in plate XXX (p140) of the London Museum Medieval Catalogue (1940).

The bow terminates in a hollow circular tubular loop (external diameter 14.5mm) set at 90 degrees to the bow. The bow is broken where it would have met the shaft, leaving a broken edge. The knop on the bow presumably had a function. It is possible that it formed another key - it could engage with two prongs. Alternatively it could simply be for suspension. Two keys with tubular loops on the bow are published in Ward Perkins …
