Weegschaal van koper, rond en plat met een opstaand randje waarin drie gaatjes zijn aangebracht c. 1590 - 1596

This anonymous copper scale pan, dating back to the late 16th century, is a simple yet essential artifact from the Rijksmuseum. Its circular form with a raised edge and three holes for suspension speaks to its practical function in weighing goods during a time when trade and commerce were burgeoning. The piece's patina, revealing the effects of time and use, adds to its historical significance. This unassuming object offers a glimpse into the daily life and craftsmanship of the Dutch Golden Age, a period characterized by artistic and economic flourishing.
