Title A name given to the resource Empress Bust Weight Subject The topic of the resource Empress Bust Weight, Steelyard, and Collar with Chains, 5th-7th century, Byzantine, Mixed copper alloy; lead and iron fill in bust, weight: 13.6 x 6 x 4.7 cm (1441 g.); chains and hooks: 44 x 5.7 cm; crossbeam with hooks: 39.2 x 1 cm, Cambridge, MA, Harvard Art Museums. Description An account of the resource Museum wall text: “Steelyards were used to weigh commodities in the ancient marketplace. The beam, with units of measurement inscribed on three faces, is calibrated for three different scales: one weighed objects up to 13 pounds, another up to 34, and the third up to 85 pounds. The steelyard would be suspended by the short hook (two of the original three remain) appropriate to the scale desired, with the commodity suspended from the hooks on the two long chains. The bust weight was moved along the bar until it balanced. The stylized image, with a simple diadem to indicate rank, does not depict a particular empress. Bust weights often represented gods, heroes, and emperors or empresses. Such imagery evoked imperial authority over weights and measures, guaranteeing fair transactions with a scale calibrated to official standards. The empress’s gestures (holding her cloak and grasping a scroll) indicate her erudition and imperial wisdom.” Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://hvrd.art/o/320164 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Harvard Art Museums 2007.104.3.A-C IIIF Item Metadata UUID b5cecb5d-7b56-4962-bd27-3518ffb41f8d
