Wow pretty cool. So it’s very possible for two people to lift it although it wouldn’t be easy.

Well, it was just a rough estimate. I think I read elsewhere that it was 18 kt gold, not pure 24 kt, so the weight would go down some percentage. Also, we don’t know if the “artist” replicated the true dimensions (wall thickness, etc.) of a standard toilet.

Of course, we could do a backward calculation of the weight from the stated value of the object, but I’m not going to do that here, since we have no idea what the “added value” due to the “art” aspect might be.

But, in the end, something at or above 150 pounds might be a good guesstimate...

Easy enough for two men to carry.

:)
