ORIGINAL 1700's ANTIQUE ROYAL BURMA EMPIRE BRONZE 2.5" TICAL BIRD OPIUM WEIGHT
The History of Opium Weights. The earliest known opium weights date back to at least the 14th century. Though unfortunately it is believed that many of the earlier weights were melted down to be remolded into new shapes. The production of opium weights ceased shortly after the British forcefully incorporated Burma into the British Raj in 1885. Royal animal weights were made from bronze using the lost wax method and great lengths were taken to ensure the accuracy of the weight. The weights and measures system was scrutinized by the king and each time a new king took the throne. A new set of weights were made in a style of his choosing. A master set of weights was produced, which were kept in the Hlut-taw or Supreme Council of State and all weights produced henceforth had to conform to this standard. The mass unit in Burma is referred to as ... morethe kyat or tical. A term known to be in use since 1515AD. The tical mass varied from 10.4 grams in the 15th century to 16.3 grams in 1830. One hundred tical was referred to as 1 viss, which was about 3.5 If You Look Online At The Sabai Designs Gallery You Will See One Just Like This One Pictured.

AUTHENTIC 1700's ANTIQUE ROYAL BURMA EMPIRE BRONZE 2.5" TICAL BIRD OPIUM WEIGHT
The History of Opium Weights The earliest known opium weights date back to at least the 14th century. Though unfortunately it is believed that many of the earlier weights were melted down to be remolded into new shapes. The production of opium weights ceased shortly after the British forcefully incorporated Burma into the British Raj in 1885. Royal animal weights were made from bronze using the lost wax method and great lengths were taken to ensure the accuracy of the weight. The weights and measures system was scrutinized by the king and each time a new king took the throne. A new set of weights were made in a style of his choosing. A master set of weights was produced, which were kept in the Hlut-taw or Supreme Council of State and all weights produced henceforth had to conform to this standard. The mass unit in Burma is referred to as ... morethe kyat or tical. A term known to be in use since 1515AD. The tical mass varied from 10.4 grams in the 15th century to 16.3 grams in 1830.
