ANTIQUE BURMESE SILVER| TIN AQUATIC 'HINTHA' BIRD OPIUM WEIGHT, 119g. 18th C.
BURMA. CAMBODIA. CHINA. INDIA. INDONESIA. JAPAN. KOREA. LANKA. LAO. THAILAND. TIBET. Antique Burmese Silver|Tin Aquatic'Hintha' Bird Opium Weight. 119g, 18th C. Overview: Authentic handmade 18th century Burmese Opium Weight. Exquisitely crafted, depicting the mythical'Hintha' Bird, also known as Hamsa, an aquatic bird which inhabited the Himalaya Forest of southern Burma, and was considered by Burmese to be a sacred animal symbolic of purity, divine knowledge and cosmic breath. Royal animal and aquatic shaped weights of the Burmese empire, are one of the most interesting and unusual numismatic collectibles, of which belonged to the prestigious royal families, governors, nobleman, and rich households. The phrase'Opium Weight' used to describe the small, curious-looking metal animal and bird figures is somewhat misleading- ... morewhile the weights actually serve a much wider, more useful purpose; they were used to gauge the weight of daily items of commerce found in the Burmese market-place. Description: The Hintha Bird Duck: Boldly modelled in the shape of a small groud pecking fowl. Seated on a hexagonal base, incised by parallel borders traped with small cubes, delicately detailed with closely fitted wings and tail plumage, bulging eyes, pointed beak, and crested headdress. Solid cast with smooth naturally aged silver hue patina, and traces of green malachite encrustation. Composition: The weight is composed of Silver. With a high Tin content, giving a more silvery hue, which was used mostly during the16th to 17th centuries, when'Tin' was most prevalent over bronze. DISPLAY PEDESTAL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION. Data Observation: Please view detailed photos for overall quality and minor imperfections of the item. Estimate Value: We are offering this item to our Ebay audience at a considerable lower wholesale value. Dimensions: Height: 2.0 inches(5.08cm) Shipping: Item(s) shipped direct from Thailand worldwide. Through Thailand Post Register Airmail(2-4 weeks) or Sea Freight(3-4 weeks)

Beautiful dark black patina over bronze. 2 lines are visible at the base though heavily worn While a weight of this size was probably used to measure food or other goods. They were nick named"opium weights" many years ago because the smaller ones were used to weigh opium. Since then the name has stuck.

19TH CENTURY BURMESE BRONZE OPIUM WEIGHT 20 TICAL HINTHA DUCK 345.9 GMS
Click to Enlarge Click to Enlarge Click to Enlarge Click to Enlarge Click to Enlarge Click to Enlarge Click to Enlarge Click to Enlarge From a Tucson estate some years ago and collected during the 1950's or so is this compelling antique Burmese bronze 20 Tical so called opium weight. An I believe Mid 19th Century proposition in every sense. The figural weight is conceived as a Hintha duck and shows a frieze of notches at the top of the round base. This corresponds very well to type"H3B" on Hartmut Mollat's model chronology chart, so dating circa 1850 or so(prior to 1868) there is no verification mark evident, but in this case that is a good thing- Mollat says it is usually missing on this type. The offered necessity of trade and commerce fulfills all of Mollat's criterea for the H3B type. If you know the genre and understand ... morethe significance of such a genuine example, the offered beauty needs no further descriptors. Weight is correct for a 20 Tical weight at about 345.9 grams on my portable digital scale; this is just slightly to the heavy side of proper, but not overly so. Condition is quite fine with an aura of good age to the bronze surfaces, that come by honestly, the underside of the base exhibits the sort of charismatic evidence of genuine wear as proper and desired. There are no hidden restorations. There are otherwise just typical and expected signs of period purposeful use and then long display in that Tucson home, all speaking to the history and here simply more evidence of the real thing. Size is about 2 11/16 in. high. If you collect the material culture of old Burma and especially these icons of the opium trade, or simply wish this single improvement the ambiance of a room in your home, this will have great meaning for you. Payment Terms, PAYMENT WITHIN 10 DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSING. I ACCEPT PAYPAL AS PER EBAY RULES. Shipping Terms, THIS ITEM U.S. ONLY; INTERESTED INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE EMAIL. BUYER PAYS FOR SHIPPING. GENERALLY WILL SHIP US PRIORITY MAIL OR USPS FIRST CLASS

These interesting animal weights have long attracted the curiosity of travellers to Burma and are now very much coveted by collectors as they become harder to find. The term‘opium' weight is somewhat a misnomer. It arouses the romantic notion that these weights were used to weigh and measure out wads of acrid smelling opium that would then be smoked on platform beds in darkened dens. ... moreThe term"opium" weight was probably coined by a foreigner with a lively imagination and an allure for the mystical East. While it is true that some of the smaller weights were used for measuring the heady sap. opium" weights served a much wider, more useful and down to earth purpose. Originally they were used to weigh relatively high value products such as silver ingots which were used as currencies. Early European traders reported the use of these weights for measuring foreign gold and silver coins, pearls, rubies, coral, personal ornaments, spices, camphor, musk and costly medicines. More common products were weighed with dome shaped marble weights. Items were measured by a beam hung with two baskets or trays. The royal animal weights were made using the lost wax technique. Which could have reached Burma though Bengal or Yunnan. Great care was taken in weighing the amount of molten metal used in casting to ensure that the purported weight was accurate. The weights are made of a cupriferous alloy. The composition of which was variable, the main elements being copper, lead and tin. Minor constituents included zinc, iron, nickel and silver.
