Lion weight, Achaemenid, from Abydos, western Anatolia (modern Turkey), 5th century BC. The object now weighs 70 lb 2 oz. (31.808 kg), perhaps corresponding to a standard Old Babylonian talent (about 30.30 kg) and the Greek equivalent (29.6-30.9 kg) and suggesting that this lion weight represented 1 talent in weight.
