I'm hoping to find out about this piece. I found it while thrifting today in Maine. It measures 4 1/2" tall x 2 3/4" wide.
I'm not sure what it is made from, how old it might be and what significance it may hold?
Thank you for any information that can be shared.
mnemonics maybe later the computer has to regenerate this , because it is completely out of stylizing
well it is made from coins it is likely a feng shui which is a home protecter . let,s say a charm
the period of the currency most be a knowbrainer , have to loke for the japanese also , because the symbols intertwine partly
They made some of these I'm tye 1950s
Here's a similar one..yours looks like maybe Soapstone?
