Summary

[edit]
Description
English: An aluminum, mass-produced balance scale sold and used throughout China. Note the larger ring beneath the user's right hand. The scale can be inverted, and held by this ring. This produces greater leverage, and is used for heavier loads. This scale is sold with an aluminum pan, but this is rarely used. The cost approximately 12 yuan ($2 USD) in 2011. Photo taken in Hainan Province, China.
