<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 10053512, member: 76316"]This was Mom's, but I have no idea where or when she acquired it. The color goes to a dark, ugly gray-green under UV (pic 4); the jump-ring is brazed, the carving appears to be machine work, a steel point won't mark it. It's ~2" long x ~1 1/4" wide, weight is ~11 grams. I'll wager it's fairly contemporary an' probably tourist stuff. Thanks for lookin'!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]504798[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]504799[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]504800[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]504801[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
