Deze antieke opiumgewichten zijn een prachtig voorbeeld van 19e eeuwse Birmese kunst.
Opiumgewichten werden in het verleden in Birma (Myanmar) gebruikt voor het afwegen van opium, een product dat lange tijd een belangrijke rol speelde in de lokale economie en cultuur.
De gewichten werden vaak versierd met symbolische figuren of patronen die de verbondenheid met de natuurlijke wereld en de spirituele dimensie benadrukten.
Gewicht van groot naar klein: 317 gr, 298 gr, 294 gr, 150 gr, 147 gr. en 60 gr.
Lengte van groot naar klein: 6,8 cm, 6,5 cm, 6,3 cm, 5,4 cm, 5,3 cm en 3,9 cm,
Het geheel wordt goed verpakt en aangetekend verzonden.
