    Got my trip to the local flea market, found a nice home savings box issued by a Viennese bank, and spotted this on my way out in a box full of literally sand and seashells.

    Got no clue, 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg 5.jpg 6.jpg 7.jpg 8.jpg 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg 5.jpg 6.jpg 7.jpg 8.jpg but it was a 1 dollar no comment situation.

    Wierd thing its small, only about 13 cm and the break looks old.

    Beautiful savings box that. I have no real idea about the other but it made me thought of a large fish tank decoration. More knowledgeable members will know better.

    The box is beautiful.

    Very cute model of an amphora. Afaik it is smaller than the usual smallest amphoras, but it could be as Boland said, a fish tank decoration.

    I've got no expertise in amphorae, but I'm strongly on the side of genuine vs repop or aquarium decor. Much there isn't immediately obvious. That thing is worthy of serious, scholarly research, imo. Thanks!
