    I'm working my way through a group of tiny Greek bronzes, trying to ID them and date them. I'm having decent luck so far, but this one has me stumped. UnknownGreek.jpg
    Size is about 10.5 mm, weight is 1.5g. Looks like helmeted Apollo on the obverse, but what do you think is depicted on the reverse. I've gone to acsearch and looked for "fig" "gourd" and "hummingbird feeder" but no luck. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Maybe it's a token for some kind of festival, that's truly a guess though! :D good luck with it!
