Originally used to weigh dry goods like grain or spices against a counterweight, today it serves as a purely decorative object. The piece has lost its functional mechanism, leaving behind a sculpture of balance and rustic simplicity. The textures—frayed rope, smooth wood, and weathered leather—tell a story of decades of daily use.
