Roman Bronze & Lead Steelyard Weight
About the Item
Rome, Imperial Period, ca. 1st century CE. An elegant bronze and lead steelyard weight depicting a Cherub with wings, shown wearing a chain around his neck and with white eyes. with his wavy hair fantastically styled into twists that wraps around the entirety of his head. The bronze here is cast around a lead center, giving the piece a surprising weight; a perforation through the top of the head allowed it to be looped through a chain and hung from a balance. Size: 2.55" W x 3.3" H (6.5 cm x 8.3 cm)
Steelyard balances were used to weight loads by moving a counterweight along the beam until it balanced and then reading the incised numeral. Vitruvius describes them and their function in his De Architectura, Book.
