Lead four shekel weight. Levant, circa 5th-3rd centuries BC. A cast lead weight in the shape of a man’s head. The weight of 42.04g would comport with four shekels (a shekel weighing 10.5g). Dimensions: 48x25mm. Some light chips and surface wear. An interesting piece.

From the collection of a Texas Wine Doctor. Ex Classical Numismatic Group 45 (18 March 1998), lot 2978.
