    And apart from cuts, there are stains.

    @Pellinore, there's just something bracing about stuff like this, which has so viscerally --Even If metaphorically-- 'been through the wars.' Those are Brilliant.

    Hi All,

    I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the Superb owl Sunday thread. I've posted a different owl there.

    References: See Price "More From Memphis and the Syria 1989 Hoard" in 'Essays to Carson and Jenkins,' pp 159 ff and "New Owls for the Pharaoh" in MINERVA. See also Nicolet-Pierre "Monnaise Des Deux Derniers Satrapes d'Egypte Avant La Conqete d'Alexandre" (in Festschr. Thompson); Newell, "Miscellanea Numismatica: Cyrene to India", ANSNNM 82 (1938), 36; and "Money Supply Under Artaxerxes III Ochus".

    These are usually found 'tested' but this test blends into the owl's face pretty well.

    Ex CNG Auction #49 (17 Mar, 1999), Lot #737 (unsold).
