Wowzers! What/who did he have it made for?
Yeh the diamonds offer zero detail here.
I’ve only got these photos to go on. If I had them in hand I’d hope I wouldn’t need help on these ones but if I did I’d get a better image for y’all.
Based solely on these photos do you see a Minerva indicating silver or possible plate marks? Not sure I see the correct shape around what looks...
Thanks! Glad you dig it. I fell for it immediately. Very elegant form for a relatively primitive carving. Great color too. Sadly the base broke...
How interesting! Very unlikely I’d have come to this conclusion on my own! I’ll look forward to digging into a bit of reading on Elcho Island and...
Interesting thought. I’ve had an item or two bearing a pelican in her piety. Never crossed my mind here! I do pick up what you’re laying down now....

Thanks. That’s why I was appealing to you style sleuths!
Good enough looking piece, great thread title. Made me chuckle!
Oh snap, that is right on! Thank you! Always nice to figure one of these tricky ones out.
Grabbed this nice little thing a few months ago. Something about the marks seems familiar, but try as I might I can’t pin down why or where...
Well I never!! Horrible, you should be banned. Have more of these photos by any chance!?!!
