Archaeological description
Schliemann 1885: Le n° 1610 est un objet de plomb quadrangulaire, portant une tête de sanglier en relief ; il a été trouvé [à 1,8 m de profondeur] dans le puits que j'ai creusé à l'extrémité orientale de la ville, près de la route de Chiblak. Il pèse 510 grammes et rappelle le quart du dimnaeon attique, sur lequel sont aussi représentées des têtes d'animaux.

There appears to be a symbol on the upper right-hand side of the weight, but it is not clear from the drawing whether this is a simple protrusion, an inscription or an iconographic type.
