Possibly over 3,600 years old, this set of cylindrical weights is attributed to the Old Babylonian period of Mesopotamia and was excavated at Warka (ancient Uruk), Iraq. They are made of hematite with rounded ends and represent graded measures, from about 500 g (1 mina) down to about 25 g (3 shekels). These artifacts are now housed at the British Museum in London, England. They were acquired in 1926 from Maj. V. E. Mocatta. Special thanks: Zunkir, CC BY-SA 4.0 (first image) | Geni, CC BY-SA 4.0
