Definitely a scale. Is this up in the attic somewhere Motts? (looking at the curvature of the ceiling)

I do and there is another one just behind the scale showing only his right cheek and dark beard. And why is that thing with a hook upside down floating in the air?

This was located in a storage building out back. There was a tunnel connecting it to the main building.

I would think the object in the back is a weight pan to put counterweights in so one could determine the weight of the object on the scale. The pan would be hooked on the eye at the back of the scale.

Does bother me a little to know that stone work shall be lost. Looks like they painted over the stone.
I thought the device in front was an ancient hand truck or sledge.
In the lower left hand corner frame there appears to be a Roman bust of a god.
