Weighing 154 grams and measuring 5.4 cm in height, 3.2 cm in width, and 3.7 cm in depth, the piece showcases the intricate artistry of Burmese craftsmen.

Crafted during the Bronze Age, this weight features a stylized representation of a mythical creature, often associated with protection and prosperity.
