<p>[QUOTE=&quot;antidiem, post: 89002, member: 30&quot;]Looks like a &quot;lost wax&quot; (cire perdue) method of casting, looks like a rather primitive attempt to depict the Big Island of Hawaii, the palm trees and flowers somewhat confirm that. Looks like student art to me but it would have to be a wealthy student to use gold. (I couldn&#039;t afford to cast anything in gold when I was in school!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Does the stone have any &quot;scratches&quot; in it?</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: I TOOK another look at it and cannot figure out if it is an island under the &quot;arm&quot; and / or perhaps the arm is just holding a big flower? </p><p><br /></p><p>I stick with student art cire perdue method though. </p><p><br /></p><p>I showed the green symbol to my sweetie but he didn&#039;t know if that was a planetary symbol or not, said he was unfamiliar with it. He worked job &quot;cosmology&quot; physics telecsope for 20yrs before his retirement, so I don&#039;t know. I have seen that symbol before. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please pardon my mispellings, I am sick with a virus and I don&#039;t spell well to start with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
