Archaeological description
Deonna 1938: Plaquette carrée. Croix à double traverse (?). Au revers, quadrillage en relief. S'il faut reconnaître une croix à double traverse dans ce motif incertain, le poids pourrait être d'origine chypriote.

Additional comment
Killen 2017: Da unklar ist, was auf diesem Gewicht dargestellt ist, kann weder eine Verbindung zum Fundort Delos noch zu anderen Poleis hergestellt werden.
