Rectangular late Saxon lead weight in abraded condition. On one face a S-shaped groove is inlaid with black material, probably niello, while on the other a reversed S is similarly inlaid. 20.5 x 18.5 x 8.5mm. Weighing 26.86g. A rectangular form is not the norm for Late Saxon weights, but the weight of this piece is quite close to the suggested weight unit of 26.6g for Viking Dublin (Kruse 1992, 86).

A lead alloy Anglo-Scandinavian weight with a styca mounted in it. The weight is roughly circular in plan and the reverse is domed. The front of the weight has a coin embedded in the centre. This coin measures 12.6mm in diameter and has the legend EDELHELM though some of the letters are retrograde or upside down. This suggests the coin is a styca of Osbert (848 - 867) or a coin issued by Archbishop Wigmund (837 - 854). Viking period lead weights were often set with Lunettes type silver pennies, Stycas and, on one occasion, a fourth century Roman copper alloy coin. The shape of the …

Lead weight. Cast discoid bun-shaped weight. Both upper and lower surfaces bear indentations which may indicate the loss of inset objects. The larger indentation is sub-circular and of diameter 14.5mm and depth 3.7mm; the smaller is less regular, with two adjacent straight edges of length circa 10mm and a curving edge, and of depth circa 1.2mm. The use of weights of this form with inserted objects is considered typical of early medieval practice. The mass of the object - though this is as found, and hence without any inserted objects - would be close to 25 units of the Dublin Viking s…

Lead weight. Cast flat discoid weight. The faint impression of a coin or jetton with circumferential legend, inner circle and central motif appears on that surface which was uppermost when the object was cast (presumably in an open mould); these features, and its size, tend to indicate a later medieval date. The mass now falls short of one averdepois ounce, but possibly the object which has left the impression was formerly attached to bring the value closer to that value. Patinated overall. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1500. Diameter: 26.9mm, Thickness: 4.6mm, Weight: 25.28gms

The main body of the weight is lead, while on the upper surface a stylised, decorative copper alloy piece has been embedded. In plan, the weight is slightly curved, with one edge concave and the oppsite edge convex. One end is rounded while the other has a straight but angled edge. In cross-section the object is trapezoidal, wide at the base and narrower at the top. The embedded copper alloy object roughly follows the edge of the lead except at the straight-edged end, where the e…
