incuse weight
« on: October 21, 2023, 01:10:09 am »
cut incuse figure walking right. three rectangular pellets below, four above with line of rectangular pellets cut to right and left vertical. Casting sprue above and below. 4.78 g, 13/12/2mm.

close enough to consider as a 1 nomismata  weight, but I do not recall ever seeing one with a walking figure. Might it be a decorative figure? stamp of some sort?

No idea.  Really strange, but really cool, too!

It doesn't appear to be a weight (specifically a Byzantine nomisma)
I think it's an antique game piece but I'm not sure
