Abstract
The loom weight bears on its lateral faces symbols of lightning, of solar standard, stars and a female deity with a broad skirt; on the bottom, the anagram thea meter(?). The weight is analysed in the frame of other loom-weight types in Greece and the Balkans, of Thracian religion, of the religious aspects of spinning and weaving, and in relation to the "emancipation" of women in the early Hellenistic period.
