About the Item

Bronze Figurine for Weighing Opium – 19th Century Dimensions: 3 x 2 x 2 cm A curious solid bronze figure used as a counterweight in an opium scale, dating from the 19th century.

These types of weights were common in Southeast Asia and China during the colonial era and are closely linked to the opium trade and market practices in local contexts.
