Mediterranean Region, Lead Shell Weight, 1/5 Libra (66.2g), c. 4th Century B.C. - 2nd Century A.D.
Hendin lists several such shell-shaped weights. They are found throughout the Mediterranean Region.AS112250. Lead weight, Hendin Weights 276, Manns-Kloetzli p. 22, 37; Alvarez-Burgos P29; 1/8 Libra lead weight molded from bipod shell, aVF, bumps, cuts, weight 66.206 g, maximum diameter 34.1 mm, 4th century B.C. - 2nd century A.D.;
Byzantine, 2 Bronze Square Coin Weights, c. 300 - 900 A.D.
Based on weight, c. 1 gram each, these are 1 scripula weights. Both are labeled with N, believed to indicate Numisma. The expected weight for a numisma is, however, c. 4 grams. Weights like these are exceedingly common with great variation in their actual weight, but we remain perplexed by the conflict between the very low weight of these specimens and their markings.AS43875. 2 Bronze Square Coin Weights, cf. Bendall 103 & 104, Collectible, green patina, each c. 1g, ex Ancient Treasures (Plamen Arsoff, Granada Hills, CA, 2011);

Divided Israelite Monarchies, Copper Bracelet-Shaped Ingot, Iron Age IIB, c. 8th Century B.C.
Copper bracelet-shaped ingots were used as a store of value and a medium of exchange in the time of the Divided Israelite Monarchies. David Hendin, author of Ancient Scale Weights and Pre-Coinage Currency of he Near East, dates this pre-coinage specimen to c. 8th century B.C. These ingots varied greatly in weight and size and a balance scale would have been necessary for trade. Hendin notes on his certificate, "There is some evidence that these may have also been used in burial ritual as bracelets or anklets as a way of sending the decease off with some assets." In Ancient Means of Exchange, Weights and Coins. The Reuben and Edith Hecht Museum Collection A, Meshorer notes, "A description of weighing similar ingots with scales is depicted on Egyptian wall-paintings." The tapered form and overlapping ends on this specimen are unusual for these ingots.AA78109. Israelite copper bracelet-shaped ingot; cf. Hendin Weights 4, Brody & Friedman figs. 1 - 4, Hecht A 2, Choice, rough green patina, bent to overlapping; 8.4 cm maximum diameter, 94.7g; tapered from the center outward to ends, c. 8th century B.C.; ex Amphora Coins (David Hendin, 2015), with his certificate of authenticity noting he purchased it from a licensed dealer in Israel;

Late Roman - Byzantine, Syria-Palestina, Beit Nattif Imitative Ovoid Lamp, c. 270 - 500 A.D.
The size and form of this lamp is similar to the Beit Nattif ovoid lamp type, but differs in decorative details. Beit Nattif Lamps are named after the site in the Judean Foothills in south-central Israel where a workshop for the type was found. The type was, however, imitated throughout Israel. This lamp is not a very close to match to any of the many examples published in our references. We believe it is an imitative made by a small workshop somewhere other than Beit Nattif that produced for local use. Beit Nattif| Lamps| page in NumisWiki.AL93882. Beit Natif Imitative Ovoid Lamp, Adler 4.3, BN.1, 482 (decorations differ); Sussman Late LR2, 1162 (same), Choice, complete and intact, encrustations; 7.5 cm (3") long, c. 270 - 500 A.D.; mold made, buff-gray clay, traces of a brown slip(?), biconvex piriform shape, large filling hole with double rim, arches patterns on shoulder, tab handle ornamented with lines, slightly pinched nozzle with round tip, ring base;
Byzantine, Palaestina Secunda, Transjordan "Elongated" Oil Lamp, c. 400 - 620 A.D.
This type is identified by Adler as a Transjordan elongated lamp. Adler writes that the shoulders are narrow and ornamented with a wide variety of motifs including linear bands, geometric, and floral designs; the handle is tongue shaped projecting horizontally and decorated with three or more bands; the nozzle is decorated with geometric or floral designs or rarely a cross. The type is found in the northern part of Transjordan, and in Israel, mainly in northern Israel and the Beit Shean area. They date to the fifth and sixth century but possibly also the beginning of the seventh century.AL93876. Transjordan elongated lamp; Kennedy Type 23; Adler type JOR.1, cf. 970 (slightly larger, similar ornamentation, double rim), Average, intact, functional, chips in shoulders on sides of nozzle,earthen deposits; 9.0cm (3 1/2") long, 5.7cm (2 1/4") wide, 2.8cm (1 1/8") tall, c. 400 - 620 A.D.; mold made, pink-orange clay, elongated body, tongue shaped handle rising diagonally ornamented with three vertical bands, triple rim around large filling hole, radiating bands on convex shoulders, circular ornament on nozzle;
