[QUOTE="KittyScar, post: 9427954, member: 13754"]It does seem like the two parts are meant to be together, so I'm assuming that it is all original. The Rams head is glued/fitted onto the other part. No screws etcs I think it is made up of two different materials, they feel different to touch at least. The back of the head is painted. My first thought when I saw it was that the head was made of either Ivory or Bone. Wondering if the black section could represent a Serpent, therefore being a Ramheaded Serpent? Maybe of Celtic design?[/QUOTE]
