<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scarborough, post: 3516108, member: 93146&quot;][ATTACH=full]933568[/ATTACH]&nbsp; …and here is one of my owls, a plated one.&nbsp; It was sold as being from the emergency issue of 404 BC and for years I thought it was.&nbsp; But it doesn’t have the style of those found in the Piraeus hoard, and under a glass the details are just ‘wrong.’ For instance the dots of the owl’s body don’t quite follow the outline, there’s no central dot above the owl’s eyes, the theta is thin and sloppy, and so on. But I still like it, and think that it was very thoughtful that the test cut was made between the owl’s legs! So I now just attribute it to possibly being made in the last half of the fifth century BC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
