Help with coin camels?

Hi,My name is David Quigley .I love old things .About 20 years ago i bought a bunch of old uncleaned coins and started cleaning them .I was estatic take off some dirt and see 2000 year old images it was just so cool to me.Then i saw this dirty old pot and thought it was very cool .i burned incense in for 20 years.It was sitting on my tv and I told myself its time it got a good cleaning as it was black .i took it out side and started cleaning it with a tooth brush and i saw a very bright gold .I cleaned it for weeks .I think its a crown no i know its a crown one of the coolest things ever you can take a look at myhugehost.com/crown i would love to hear what anyone has to say there is a repair in the front of the botten crown has a large silver coin that has been cut to fit the hole looks like a camels head any info would be great. have fun .

dd:Hi,Thanks glad you liked it,Dave

 

And you burned incense in that thing for 20 years? Shame on you David. The ghosts of the Macedonian kings will get you (LOL).......

BTW, welcome to the forum.

 

Hi David and welcome to the forum.
I looked at the images. Could you post one of just the coin?

 

better pic of coin

Hi, yes i will get a better pic of the coin i see i didnt get a good one at all looks to me like a camels head and the butt of another. looking at the edge of the coin it looks like a point that sticks out the side of the coin inside has a gold patch over it and its still dirty so i dont want to mess with it to much to see the back , thanks Dave

 

Hi, Now i know why i have had 20 years of bad luck lol, thanks Dave

 

My first guess is that what you are seeing is solder from what used to hold something to it.

 

Hi, It could of had something there in the front i didnt have time to get a pic yet .i made some owl wings for it they look cool need a pic of them allso looking at the pic on the home page the camels nose would be pointed up will get a better pic soon thanks for all the help.Dave

 

At first I thought you took the TV outside to clean it they I noticed you said the Pot on top of the TV. I think I missed something somewhere. What photos were there?

 

This is one of about 40 images in the album.

This thread could get very interesting. I'd love to see a closeup of the coin.

I think it's an incense burner.
