Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 11/10/2015 05:57 am Came in a bulk bag buy, About the size of a quarter, looks and has the feel of silver.Has a nice new patina. Currently can't find my test kit. Has the appearance to me of being a home made copy of something. Either fantasy, or ancient I have no interest or knowledge in either area. Any body see anything similar? Report this Post to the Staff

Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 11/10/2015 3:58 pm Under close exam with loupe it appears to be made from a wax pattern and what they called lost wax casting which is investment casting now a days. I have no idea what that is supposed to be, and under magnification doesn't help. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16930 Posts	Posted 11/13/2015 9:44 pm Rotate it about 100 degrees anticlockwise and it becomes a crude skull, or maybe some kind of monster/alien head; I'm guessing that was the effect they were aiming for.
