    I figured SOMEONE in this neck of the woods would be able to attribute this one.

    I saw this, had to have it, and picked it up with eBay Bucks. Photos are from the seller. I can post mine when it arrives from Portugal.

    The seller has a wide variety of bronzes from all across Europe, but offered little information in the listing. It is HUGE. 80mm in diameter to be exact - my larges bronze to date.

    What say you? Anyone seen anything remotely similar? What do I have here?

    You know, New Mexico isn't the ONLY state that has a Roswell . . . . . .

    Georgia, the official State of Confusion . . . . . .

    There is a signature near the top of it, but I cannot make it out.

    I have no idea, but it has a 1970's Israeli medal look to it.

    I was thinking the same thing myself. The Israelis have produced some rather abstract and unusual medals over the years.

    The signature looks backwards; so does the script on the other side. It wouldn't be the first time that someone posted an image backwards.

    I feel like I should know this artist. I have a fair amount of similar medals. It's kind of embarrassing how much time I have spent this evening hunting for a clue....with zero luck.

    Well, I did get a lead on this from an alternate site. Seems that I (the seller) have the photos upside down.

    Check out page #3.

    So, it has been identified but I am a little confused by something. It is probably a typo, but in your opening post you say you are waiting for it to arrive and in your last post (#13) you say you are the seller, please clarify.
