Judah, Limestone Dome Weight, 24 Shekels (Fragment, 113.239g), 800 - 586 B.C.

Robert Deutsch identified this as a 20 shekel weight, uncertain of the full weight, but according to David Hendin 20 shekel dome weights are not known to exist. Also, in his Excavations in Jerusalem, Tushingham lists a similar creamy white limestone 24 shekel dome weight with the same symbol, and at 268.3g, it is clearly a 24 shekel weight. Yohanan Aharoni in "The Use of Hieratic Numerals in Hebrew Ostraca and the Shekel Weights" discusses another 24 shekel weight with the same symbols (fig. 2c), and describes the use of these symbols for 24 shekels as "unique." Apparently it is not unique, but it is undoubtedly extremely rare.
AS111510. Judah, dome 24 shekel weight fragment; Tushingham fig. 79, 9 (whole, 268.3g, same hieratic mark); see Aharoni Hieratic p. 16, fig. 2c, Choice, but a fragment of about 42% of the original weight; 113.239g, 53.5mm diameter, 40.8mm high, pre-exile, 800 - 586 B.C.; carved creamy white limestone dome, hieratic (24 shekels) inscribed on top; ex Archaeological Center (Robert Deutsch, Tel Aviv, Israel), auction 51 (17 Oct 2011), lot 71; extremely rare; SOLD

Judah, Limestone Weight, 5 Gerah (2.549g), c. 7th Century B.C.

|Weights| |&| |Scales|, |Judah,| |Limestone| |Weight,| |5| |Gerah| |(2.549g),| |c.| |7th| |Century| |B.C.|
A gerah is an ancient Hebrew unit of weight and currency, which, according to the Torah (Exodus 30:13, Leviticus 27:25, Numbers 3:47, 18:16), was equivalent to 1/20 of a standard "sacred" shekel. This weight was 1/5th of a 12.745g shekel. Many of the references we hold list 4 gerah specimens but 5 gerah weights appear to be extremely rare. Kletter 1998, p. 244, identifies a specimen in the Hecht Museum in Haifa, but does not describe it. Munz Zentrum auction XXXII (1978), lot 45, is a 5 gerah, limestone dome weight.
AS111508. Judaean, limestone 5 gerah "cupcake-shaped" weight; cf. Kletter 1998, p. 244, Hecht Museum H-2380; Hendin Weights -; Tushingham -, Choice, 2.549g, 13.0mm diameter, 9.4mm high, pre-exile, c. 7th Century B.C.; polished creamy buff-pink variegated limestone (Munsell color 7.5YR 8/4), incised hieratic IIIII (5) on the domed top, convex sides narrowing to flat bottom; ex Shick Coins (Max Shick, Israel, 2013); extremely rare; SOLD


Egyptian, Royal Scarab, Neferkara (Pepi II) Scarab, 6th Dynasty, c. 2277 - 2183 B.C.

|Scarabs|, |Egyptian,| |Royal| |Scarab,| |Neferkara| |(Pepi| |II)| |Scarab,| |6th| |Dynasty,| |c.| |2277| |-| |2183| |B.C.|
From the collection of Alex G. Malloy, former dealer in antiquities for 40 years.

Pepi II was a pharaoh of the Sixth dynasty in Egypt's Old Kingdom. His throne name, Neferkare (Nefer-ka-Re), means "Beautiful is the Ka of Re." He succeeded to the throne at age six, after the death of Merenre I, and is generally credited with having the longest reign of any monarch in history at 94 years, though this figure has been disputed by some Egyptologists who favour a shorter reign length of 64 years. He was the son of Pepi I and Queen Ankhesenpepi II.
AF33365. Neferkara (Pepi II) scarab, Choice, attractive, 14 mm long, white carved steatite, base design with name Nefer Ka Ra (Pepi II); rare; SOLD
