KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/17/2008 1:58 pm Yeah...I'd have to agree w/fantasy piece. There's an odd mix of alphabets...a Greek character mixed in with Latin ones. The portrait looks modern too, but I'm sure the experts will chime in Report this Post to the Staff

The "lion looking over it's shoulder at a star" is a common motif on coins of Miletus (A Greek colony in what is now western Turkey). The Wildwinds page shows several with the same basic design, including the main pic at the top of the list. It may even have been made specifically for use as a button. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
