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

      Yea..Its so weird..I wish someone could tell me anything about it!
    3. TT1tina, 9 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, 9 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.
