A libra is 327–45 gm. and s o 3 librae is 982–3 5 gin.; an uncia is 27–288 gm. Th e difference between 1009–638 gm. and the actual figure is insignificant, although it may once have been greater. The most exposed features of the bust, such as the nose, have suffered considerable wear and the suspension loop is only about half its original thickness at its apex.
