A traditional tarazu or goldsmith’s weighing scale handcrafted from brass and measures approximately 8.7 inches tall, 5 inches wide, and weighing about 14.4 ounces. Often associated with apothecaries and jewelers, scales like this were historically used to weigh small quantities such as pills, gemstones, or precious metals. This piece includes functional brass weights—10g, 5g, 2g, and smaller milligram units—and is easy to assemble and disassemble.
