Antique Burmese Lion Opium Weight, 19th-20th Century

Item Details

Description

A rare Burmese lion opium weight from the 19th to the 20th century represents a unique artifact from the Indo-Himalayan region. The piece, measuring approximately 3.5 cm by 3 cm or 1.38 inches by 1.18 inches, is an intriguing example of the weights used in the trade and regulation of opium. The intricate design reflects the cultural significance of the lion in Burmese symbolism, often associated with protection and power. This weight not only served a practical purpose but also stands as a testament to the region's complex history with the opium trade. It’s a significant relic that will provide depth to any collection of Asian antiquities, illuminating a fascinating aspect of Southeast Asian history.
