[QUOTE="lazmih, post: 173208, member: 2969"]Hi everyone, I've had this "sculpture" in the family for a while now, passed on from generation to generation but none of my precedecessors have bothered to find out more about it. Here are a few facts: top layer is brass, it is about 15" long, 10" wide and 1/2" thick, hand carved (I think), the back plate is made of wood and it also has a layer of petrified honey (the opinion of a friend), very heavy (about 15 pounds). Could anyone tell me anything about this amazing piece? I mean how old do you think it is, who might be the author, what does it actually represent besides the obvious and how much do you think it might be worth. Thank you very much in advance for any info.
