Not sure I have seen any w/o images or glyphs on the bottom so not sure if it is authentic. But it has the feel and look of maybe a later dynasty. It is translucent with a polished surface. Maybe a modern copy when Egypt was the rage?[ATTACH=full]762898[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]762889[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
