    ...another mystery from the boxes...

    This is beyond my very limited knowledge. It feels old. Could easily be a repro of something older though...???

    It feels heavy for its size, IMG_7597.JPG IMG_7598.JPG IMG_7599.JPG IMG_7600.JPG IMG_7601.JPG IMG_7602.JPG just under 2 ounces.

    Any help is appreciated, as always!

    Thank you. Melissa

    Too small for a "torc",more like an armlet/arm band/bracelet.

    My first guess would be North African somewhere. It looks cast. Tuareg or Berber maybe?

    A torc bracelet then, to be more precise.

    Lost wax cast by the look of it. The style is more Saxon or even Viking with those axe head finial ends. A repro would make sense, wish I could make out the mark.

    Indeed: Minoan axe heads.
