"Rare Mughal Weight"
Hell, even the Mughals had no interest in receiving it on the foot... Think, 2050 grams of compact metal, that can do damage... Rare. An ageless object, the Mughal empire extended from 1527 to 1857. Perhaps he collaborated in the raising of the Taj Mahal? Perhaps he had a less noble destiny like hoisting harvest sacks.? Perhaps it was stolen by a servant of the British Empire? A mute object which has seen many others and which displays, not without pride, a beautiful patina.
