Images in {{bib|De Marinis 1985}}: 203 (drawing = {{bib|De Marinis 2005}}: 68, fig. 23.3) and tav. XXVII, 3 (photo), {{bib|De Marinis 2005}}: 69, fig. 24 (photos).

Roughly rhomboid flattish piece of bronze of 115.6 g; smooth sides, only the upper left one is chipped (ancient according to De Marinis). On the uninscribed surface, traces of rasping and two indentations (3–4 mm). The piece appears to be complete ({{bib|Prosdocimi 1986d}}). Dating from {{bib|De Marinis 1985}}: 203, who interprets the object as a bronze weight (a quarter of a Near-Eastern/Etruscan mina); it is identified as a piece of aes rude by {{bib|Colonna 1986}}: 62 f. (thus also {{bib|De Marinis 2005}}: 73), but as aes formatum by {{bib|Bertol Stipetić 2022}}: 29.
