Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 10/13/2020 7:49 pm A few years ago I made a similair topic but the pictures are gone and I dont know if these were identified.. I still don't know the heritage of these little hammered copper pieces so if anyone knows please share. I bought them in Hampi India 2010 + 2013 probably from that area in the Vijaynagar era ca. 1336/1550. I like the kind of mystic feel to them, with the praying priest on 2 of them and a bull (worship) on another. The one left bottom I dont even know what it represents or means? Any clues? More pics possible if needed.. Report this Post to the Staff
