Not on view
Early Islamic bronze weights represented a new weight system and showed their difference from Roman and Byzantine weights in their shape, punched decoration, and assayer marks. While small early Islamic weights continued the Byzantine disk shape, larger ones took the form of decorated barrels, truncated bicones, or polyhedrons.
