      It is a hand sewn Needle point picture of possibly either
      Pontius Pilatus. or Jesus . That is my guess . I thought Caesar of Rome but he did not have a beard ,
      I do not believe it was Jesus in Temple because he was standing , Maybe that is a start for you to figure out picture :-)
      Pontius Pilatus (Pontius Pilate), prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, aren't known, but he held office from A.D. 26-36. Pontius Pilate has come down in history because of his role in the execution of Jesus and because of his mention in the Christian statement of faith known as the Nicene Creed where it says "... crucified under Pontius Pilate.needle point sewn by hand each stitch , It looks ike when Jesus or Ceaser or

      I have seen this before and worked on it but it defeats me still. My inclination has been to look to Alexander the Great.
    5. Manikin Manikin, 10 years ago
      Alexander the Great sounds like a good place to look . I can see that as very possible Vet :-) Great lead .

      What's on the cushion in front of the dead/sleeping figure?

      An anecdotal story from the life of Alexander?
      The Death of Darius?

      It looks like some kind of strange dog to me Vet ?
    8. Manikin Manikin, 10 years ago
      He was ill for awhile before he died . Looks asleep in this scene not dead but why is someone pointing spear at him ?
    9. Manikin Manikin, 10 years ago
      Vet I think that is a helmet on pillow ! I see it in different position now.
    10. ZZeppelin, 10 years ago
      I believe its a helmet,face guard and breast plate. I have dine my best, to understand this piece, but am at a loss. Thank you Vetraio & Manikin for your input.
