| Description (Modern): | Well-formed but badly burned and cracked duck weight. Made of what looks to be a conglomerate limestone, but the cracking from burning may be causing this appearance. The head of the duck is well detailed with eyes and beak prominent. Around 1/4 of the overall weight is missing, broken away at the lower front of the duck. The inscription on the side is only just visible. As a 30 mina weight, it should weigh in the range of 15kg; if it is truly missing 1/4 of its weight, the original total would have been around 14.2kg. |
