Bucket weight
Engraved brass, 5 cm x 6 cm
Weight (total): 250 grams
Inside the bucket weight with lid, there is a set of three smaller weights of different measure: 1 DK, 20 DK, 30 DK.
Many surviving pieces of such weights come from the German city of Nuremberg, which was a famous center for their production, but they were used widely throughout Europe, including in the Polish lands under partition. The second creative center was the former Russian Empire. This one probably dates back to the 18th century.
Condition: good (covered with patina)
