<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 4942023, member: 97383&quot;]I too was disappointed this outstanding article was never given <b>FEATURED</b> status <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Admittedly the object I&#039;m posting has nothing to do with ancient Egyptian coinage, but it does illustrate the pride &amp; veneration modern Egyptians have with their past. The object is a coin silver snuff box (or box meant to hold other natural substances <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) that depicts Isis on the top cover surrounded by hieroglyphics. The box is in the shape of a Roman sarcophagus, &amp; the inside bottom of the box has a tiny hallmark in Arabic characters too small for me to photograph accurately. The box dimensions are 47 mm X 23.9 mm X 23.2 mm. I bought this box many years ago at a special Exhibition of Egyptian Art at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, NY.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1188014[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1188016[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1188018[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1188019[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
