Hopefully you can see details from attached pics (I'm a new member, 2nd post). Again, working-out any glitches with attachments and photo quality. Can anyone give further information (possible h3a etc.. and are the weights genuine? Thank you for any input! Jack326

Hi Jack,
Thanks for posting a "cross-section" of the standard forms of the Burmese animal-shaped weights.
You show a Toe 1D, Hintha 3A1, Hinha 3A2, a group of Hintha 3B, and a small Karaweik. All the weights seems to be genuine, as far as recognizable from the photos only.
Please find attached two photos with some more weights, arranged similar to yours to compare.
Best regards
Michael

Hintha 3A1 20 tical (red lacquer), Hintha 3A2 2 tical, Hintha 3B 5 tical, Hintha 3A2 5 tical, Toe 1D 10 tical, Karaweik K1 2 tical, Hintha 3B 1 tical

A group of Hintha 3B weights from the first half of 19th century to early 20th c., each 20 tical

Michael, appreciate your responses regarding my posts. Your insight has confirmed the weights are genuine. Also, thank you for taking the time posting photos for comparison! I've read numerous posts within the forum; your knowledge and understanding of weights is valued. I'll post more photos in the near future as I'm still gaining knowledge and could use any new information. Also, look forward to reading other members posts including your thoughtful informational posts and responses. Again, thank you Michael! Best regards, jack326
