Description: | Somewhat elaborate conical weight with oval base, composed of five brass and five bronze segments plus the top segment which includes a small hook for suspension. The central rivet that held all the segments together was most probably made from iron.It is uncertain whether or not this was a weight, but it might be possible that, if the rivet was longer originally, segments could be added or taken away according to how light or heavy the weight was needed to be.
