Rare16thC Opium Weight 5 Tical Lion EOW192

$345.00

This is a seldom weight from Burma – Group 5, Period KL, pre-1600s. After 24 years of visiting SE Asia and collecting weights, it’s the first of its kind that we’ve been able to offer to date.  The patina of the weight is consistent with its age and the condition is very good. It would make a prized addition to any serious weight collection.
