I have seen at least two other weights with a similar pattern and of magnum size, at 4 inch or bigger diameter.
One was described as having four "Y"s, but I was very doubtful about that because the setting of all canes was quite poor and it could just as easily have been a design based on a cross (possibly of French style). Another, which was shown to me very recently, had a central cane with the "arms" formed from lengths of pink-centred filigree twists and had canes in the spaces within and at the end of the twist lengths. Again it looked to me to be more like a cross pattern than anything else.
Both of those other two weights had canes which can be matched to early period Vasart work and in particular to some of the known Salvador Ysart 3D butterfly and 3D flower weights.
None of these weights, including Ray's, have any features that make me think Paul Ysart would have made them.
