Message:: [QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24867954, member: 26430"]Wow is that weird -- and cool! Did it come with any description? (Findspot is probably too much to hope for.) A star above an animal (horse, ram, bull, lion etc) is a very common combination of designs throughout the ancient Mediterranean and Near East. This reminds me most of the Cypriote bronzes with star above horse. Similar style and fabric. Except the horse on these faces left. Perhaps another type from 4th cent. Salamis? <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Star++horse+ae+standing+cyprus&category=1&lot=&date_from=&date_to=&thesaurus=1&images=1&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&currency=usd&order=3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Star++horse+ae+standing+cyprus&category=1&lot=&date_from=&date_to=&thesaurus=1&images=1&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&currency=usd&order=3" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Star++horse+ae+standing+cyprus&category=1&lot=&date_from=&date_to=&thesaurus=1&images=1&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&currency=usd&order=3</a> Or not a coin but Roman lead (PB) Tessera?<a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6063928" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6063928" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6063928</a>[/QUOTE]
