M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 10:33 pm ty philadelphian, looking forward to finally getting this solved after I'd say close to 20 years lol, I never wanted to clean it for possibly doing some damage. Now the verdigris is at least soft and ready for an acetone bath I think. After I find more info on it. Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 01/07/2015 03:16 am I'd say 20 years is about right. My wife says it's a temple dedication (or re-dedication) medallion honouring one of their former revered monks. The date on the back is BE2536 = 1993. I've tried translating from Thai to English but it's notoriously difficult with proper names. What particularly sets the monk apart is that he appears to be smoking a traditional Thai hand-rolled cigarette. Best I can do for now. Will try someone else for a translation.
