While it is indeed some kind of decorative depiction of a warrior, I get a kind of science fiction or fantasy vibe from it. It sure doesn't look...
Agree with Delft. I would think late 19th or early 20th century. Maybe even up to WWII. Hard to pin down age since similar have been made for a...
It is a modern interpretation of mission style. I doubt if it is any older than 30 years. It could be shop made but is just as likely to have...

Addition to the scrap pile does not mean it will be imminently scrapped. I have a bunch of silver, including jewelry, that I am just holding for...
Thanks for the input. I don't see anything very special here. Found one Navajo barrette using this same clip and it was also just attached with...

All thrift store finds this week. After finding very little all last year, I am once again finding some sterling. These are all sterling except...
Thanks! Had not seen that label before so good to know. Not what I expected. The wording really just translates to handmade art glass. Anyone...

Have had pieces with similar script shown to a native speaker of Arabic and she said that the script is stylized archaic and religious in nature....
