[QUOTE="Ian, post: 30333, member: 283"]Well done that man!! Feuardent # 12527 apparently. The item has been determined as representing a `celestial shield'. (The french penchant for the dramatic and the classic). They often show scenes from the classics on jetons and the legends tend to be quotes from same. I don't know which particular classic this jeton quotes from, but I am 100% certain that it does. OK, so here we are supposed to be seeing a shield coming out of the clouds, (presumably to be followed shortly by some god or another arriving just in the nick of time to save the day) .

Certainly it's not depicting any alien arriving to help earth sort out its many difficulties, so UFO-logists are just dreaming if they think otherwise. Here's an example of what might have been seen had the clouds not been so thick (note the wheel on the chariot) :-) [IMG]http://www.imb4u2.myby.co.uk/stuff/ChateletRev.jpg[/IMG] and if it WAS supposed to be a shield, here is what might have been in the other hand :-) [IMG]http://www.imb4u2.myby.co.uk/stuff/conetablieRev.jpg[/IMG] That one should really get the UFO-logists going ...shades of Zardoz here :-) Ian[/QUOTE]
