      Strange!
      Egyptian theme and symbols (ankh) with what look like Asian writing in the rectangular "cartouches"!
      Sorry, no appraisers here, but...

      Yea..Its so weird..I wish someone could tell me anything about it!
    3. TT1tina, 8 years ago
      I love Egyptian also..I cannot just give it away..Not even sure it is Egyptian ..I know I see an Ankh..but other things just look different. I want to know if it has value. Maybe then I will sell it!

      Not Egyptian, but egyptian revival!
      Could come from anywhere as egyptomania hit when king Tutankhamon's tomb was discovered.
      It is a fantasy item, can't help for the value, I think only a buyer could say, lol!

      Is there any mark on it (look even inside!)?
    6. TT1tina, 8 years ago
      Nope..no marks..I just want to know who I have take a look at it...It really is a mystery! Its very cool.
