Lot 472 ABBASID: Glass paste weight (4.16g)
ABBASID: Glass paste weight (4.16g), lightly stamped, weak legends, translucent green, About Fine. Somewhat similar to various early Abbasid weights, such as Morton-217, but with the phrase amir al-mu'minin reasonably clear in the middle line of the text. Several other variants cite either the caliph al-Mansur (754-775) or al-Mahdi (775-785) and I believe this piece was produced during that period.
