A nicely carved opium weight box in wood and scale in bronze. Burmese ca. 1850. This is a complete set of a merchant scale with box. The carved design looks like a flower, but the carving is actually quite intricate, and the wood is smooth to the touch! This type of weight was used in Burma for weighting opium and other expensive commodities. The scale is simple and hand held with two bowls and a needle that has to point vertically to ensure that the two sides weigh equal. The scale is made of bronze and is quite accurate. Length of box: 18 cm. Length of scale: 11 cm.

A tribal textile used as chest covering for dances from Burma Khumi tribe, early 20th century. This particular piece is very special and very rare as it is wowen as a sampler with varying pattern all over the piece. Normal pieces have a repeated pattern. I personally picked up this textile nearly 10 years ago in the Rakhine state in the old city Mrauk U that is a very old capital of Arakan/Rakhine state close to the border of Bangladesh. I visited this remote place nearly 10 years ago and was able to select and cherry-pick some of these wonderful tightly double-wowen textiles. My collection consists of 40 pieces that all are in good condition and all very rare. You can look up more information on these textiles in "Textiles of the Hill Tribes of Burma" by Michael C. Howard, p. 56/57, p. 115, p. 148 and p. 149. Size: 65 x 30 cm.
