<p>[QUOTE="wenna, post: 391747, member: 541"]I'm not sure how to refer to this piece...is it a memento mori, prayer box, relic holder, reliquary, novelty??? I can see using it to store a locket of hair or a memento like that. Thoughts anyone? Any ideas where and when this was made? There are no marks at all; it does test as sterling though. The box is 1 1/4" by just under 1". About 3/8" deep. The chain is about 29" end to end. Weight is 16.3 grams. Thanks for looking!!![ATTACH=full]135898[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]135899[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]135900[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
