<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JoIke, post: 7503525, member: 112092&quot;]All of the above pieces I believe to be 18th C. or older.</p><p><br /></p><p>The mask is bronze and appears to be some form of applique or pendant. The skull IMHO is the most interesting of the lot. It&#039;s made of the most unusual metal that I&#039;ve not been able to ID. I believe it&#039;s a Memento Mori, made of the most unusual silver-ish metal that has tarnished, but yet magnetic. 1/3 of it appears to have been mended some time ago using organic material (possibly amber). Although the skull has tarnished a brown-ish type color, the &quot;veining&quot; remains silver-ish with traces of gilt. Weird! Meteorite(?)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1296539[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1296540[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1296541[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1296542[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1296543[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1296544[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1296545[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1296546[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1296547[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1296548[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
