Bucket Weight
Engraved brass, 5 cm x 6 cm
Weight (total): 250 grams
Inside the bucket-shaped weight with a lid is a set of three smaller weights of various sizes: 1 DK, 20 DK, 30 DK.
Many surviving pieces of such weights come from Nuremberg, Germany, which was a famous center for their production, but they were widely used throughout Europe, including in the Polish territories under foreign rule. The former Russian Empire was another major center of production. This one likely dates from the 18th century.
