Thanks Jack. Good photos. My pictures are not better. I made them early 2017. So you see, they changed position and decoration. But still the same weights, luckily.
They are nice, but not Bagan period as described beside the showcase.

Dr. Lehmann's paper is quite interesting. Collector's should carefully read it...

Enjoy Burma.
Best regards
Michael

Sorry to say but these 'things' are no original Myanmar weights. Weights are made in a system (from small to big). These are different. The nice lion, there is to much 'fancy' on it. But....I do not think they are new. In the 19th century they copied weights a lot and craftsmen gave them a different look.
