[QUOTE="Anthony Divergigelis, post: 5363423, member: 79203"]Reposting this to try and get some more input Thank you in advance for all your valuable thoughts everyone so this is my mortar & pestle It came from an estate and was Acquired from a man who got it during his time spent in World War II and came back to the US with it I think it depicts a scene of king Darius the great but am unsure, The kings are in the style of playing cards One king has a falcon in a backpack which is typical sport for kings One king has what I think is a lamb It’s very finely detailed in the engraving you can zoom in and even see the feathers in their crown which is smaller than a half grain rice And all the research I’ve done I haven’t seen anything that correlates with the head on the pike so what are your thoughts everyone?[/QUOTE]
