Size Max. Pres. Height 0.121 m, Max. Pres. Width 0.067 m, Max. Pres. Diameter of Hole 0.012 m, Max. Pres. Dimensions of Top 0.030 x 0.031 m
Condition Joined from 17 fragments with some plaster infill; four additional associated fragments do not join. The loom weight is very heavily, irregularly broken, chipped, pitted, cracked, and encrusted. Most of the interior of the weight is missing, revealing the dark, nearly black color of the biscuit. Only a very small portion of the finished base is preserved. Fresh breaks are due to damage from modern tools used in excavation.
