<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Majestic12, post: 118154, member: 1697&quot;]Hi,</p><p>I found this curious item in my soil.&nbsp; I assume it is brass and appears to be hand-made, with enamel inlays.&nbsp; Much of the enamel has come out.&nbsp; Note the top left and right enamels are magenta along with the bow on the bottom, though are soiled.&nbsp; The center rectangle has dark blue enamel.&nbsp; I have not been able to find any maker&#039;s mark on it.&nbsp; The item must have been quite beautiful when it was new.</p><p>First of all, what is it?&nbsp; It has a top bracket and a brazed-on bar on the back which is now bent.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>How old is it?&nbsp; Is it foreign to the U.S., where it was found?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help or information is greatly appreciated.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]29818[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]29819[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
