<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Veronika Dubcova, post: 2133529, member: 14945&quot;]Hello, yes, you are right, it is a legal and very professional project originating from the need of re-building/reconstructing the church with the crypt, where the tomb of this man was situated, everything was investigated in detail and it will be put in order after the work is done. I am an archaeologist and egyptologist and I was asked to estimate the object which bears an Egyptian motif. However, this is clearly not an indigenous ancient Egyptian object, but most likely a 19th century product (maybe slightly earlier?). I am trying to find out more about the object as well as about the mans life - since it is really highly unusual that it was in his coffin - and only this - no second button, no further jewelry! It seems to have some importance for him - maybe some amulet, souvenir - the connection with some travel to Egypt - the building of Suez Canal is a good point, maybe he was a freemason (they were quite active in this part of Austria-Hungary - Slovakia). I am not familiar with this kind of items, thats why I am searching some help - to make further research.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
