oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5299 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 3:13 pm This weighs 67 grams, is 5 cm wide and about 1 cm wide and thick. It is a square cylinder (or an elongated cube) that is cut along the diagonal. I assuming it is a fake of some sort but wht might have been the purpose of the original? Report this Post to the Staff

While the central animal seems certain to be a pony (on further review I think it is likely a deer) I think the other two might be alpine ibex ? And the one above a rabbit ? It may well be an early Iron Age artifact dating from around 1,000 BC I would investigate it further if I were you What is the 'ask' price ?
