Note: Islamic bronze weights were essential tools used for trade and commerce in the Islamic world during the medieval period. These weights were meticulously crafted from bronze and were typically shaped like geometric solids, such as cubes or cylinders, to ensure accuracy in measurement.  They were employed in various commercial transactions, including the exchange of goods, commodities, and precious metals. Merchants and traders relied on these weights to establish fair pricing and to maintain consistency in measurements across different markets.
