    They have an Egyptian vibe, but honestly don’t know. There are three snakes on each, I think the stone is turquoise. They also appear to be hammered. If you look at the 3rd and 10th photo you can see the seam where they appear to have been joined(is this normal?). About 17” tall. No marks. Hoping someone has seen these or something like them. Any information like possible age or even words I can use for searching is as always, appreciated. Do they hold any value as in worth selling on ebay as antique, vintage or just decorative in your opinion? Could the metal circles going around sto es be silver or am I just dreaming ;)

    They could be Egyptian. These are tourist-type souvenir items, probably made late 20, early 21st. C. My guess at selling price is $50. For the pair on a good day. Yes they were made by joining two halves, an old technique but still used by small shops that don’t have large machines.

    Ahhh, thank you for your info. I bit depressing early 21st. I was hoping possibly 60’s to 80’s in my mind but still can turn a good profit...... on a good day. :)
