[QUOTE="dadams, post: 2595073, member: 82194"]Zero chance of me helping you out here but this is the kind of thing an ancient noob, like myself, might like to spend some time on. The www. global database is about the only resource at my disposal and I tried any number of combinations in the search box: "lion scalp" and "fish" and "ARA" "Facing lion scalp" and "tunny fish" "Facing lion scalp" and "tunny fish swimming left" &ct. . . . . . . . The most interesting was this linky: [url]http://archaicwonder.tumblr.com/post/35450134286/zagaba-dynasts-of-lycia-silver-stater-380-375-bc[/url] For me, the similitude of The lion scalps certainly suggests Lycian origin, and I liked the reverse fish. I also enjoyed this article and might suggest your fishy, if not Tunny, could be a Sturgeon or Mullet. (Edited to add: probably not) Opens as a PDF: [url]http://www.pontos.dk/publications/articles/bss2_stolba.pdf[/url] I enjoyed my little interwebs jaunt even though I knew if you hadn't found it in your references then I was on a wild-goose chase, but I learned a bit nonetheless.[/QUOTE]
