About

Lao Portable Steelyard Balance Scale (Hidden Paddle Form)

A rare traditional Southeast Asian portable weighing device from Laos, designed in an unusual paddle-shaped wooden form. The exterior acts as both a protective casing and structural body for a concealed steelyard balance mechanism stored beneath. When closed, the object resembles a simple paddle, disguising its functional purpose—an ingenious vernacular design likely used in rural market trade. The wear and patina indicate genuine historical use, reflecting both practicality and craftsmanship.

Late 19th – Early 20th Century
