Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 09/02/2023 04:14 am Not sure where to post this? I found this metal detecting in the Pyrenees just on the French side.... It's 13.5cm X 7.5cm X 1mm, bronze and the back is blank. Any help in pointing me in the right direction or a clue as to what is inscribed ( names, place etc), will be most appreciated!

erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 09/04/2023 6:16 pm I have scratched my head over this for a while, and I think I have got some names out of it at least, all associated with the Pyrenees. Upper left I think is SARBAT (not SARRAT), which is a surname used in the Pyrenees. Middle center, SALEGHAN, could be SALECHAN, and there is a commune Salechan just north of the Pyrenees. Bottom line I think is MAULEON BSE HES PEE, which probably means Mauleon-Barousse Hautes-Pyrenees. Mauleon-Barousse is another commune, very close to Salechan. Hautes-Pyrenees is the department to which those two communes belong. Report this Post to the Staff
