Weight

Cube-shaped iron weight with copper shell. A rather unusual weight in the context of the Viking Age: there are no examples of this type in the finds from Birka. This suggests that it can be dated to the 11th century, the latter part of the Viking Age. This type is also common in cultural layers from that time in Sigtuna. Settlement find, Norrtil, Sankt Olof Parish, Uppland. Loan from Sigtuna Museum.
