<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 4557877, member: 57364&quot;]Interesting Object ! visually very attractive. I am a bit concerned though. I took a 5 minute internet search to find a comparable one, here on zeno: <a href="https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=166601" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=166601" rel="nofollow">https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=166601</a></p><p>I tried to zoom in a bit on the Brahmi text to see what it reads:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1128352[/ATTACH]</p><p>Seems like proper Gupta Brahmi script, about late 5th to 7th century AD. An expert read the Zeno piece as &quot;Kuladipa&quot;. I would rather read it as &quot;Uladipa&quot;. Both of which are not easily interpreted. What also bothers me a bit is that these two objects are clearly stamp identical. Without proper provenance, i would not rule out that this is a modern production, however much i like it as an object.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
