[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4276099, member: 2844"]It is beautiful, Joanne. There is indeed a Trimukha Ganapati on top. The silver top also features an embossed Thai/Cambodian/Laotian type dragon. Looking at the type of script, it is also either from Thailand, Laos, or Cambodia. Given the western numbers (not English!!!) I would guess either Laos or Cambodia, which were both part of French Indochina (not English;)). The number thing could be auspicious, or some type of ritual calendar? That is all I can say, so I will tag our French Indochina friend, [USER=5006]@kyratango[/USER] , kyra, do you have any ideas? Btw, I am Dutch, and we also use those numbers.:jawdrop::hilarious: So does the entire European and European influenced world. Most of that world has never been a British colony.:rolleyes: It is the same with Latin script, btw.[/QUOTE]
