Viking Weights: Part 1

Oblate spheroid weight from Yorkshire, recorded by the PAS
(PAS 'Find-ID' YORYM-01C134). The copper-alloy shell has corroded,
revealing the weight's iron core. Image courtesy of the PAS
One type of standardised weight is known as the oblate spheroid: a spherical weight with flattened poles with an iron core and copper-alloy shell
