[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 2745771, member: 84"]I found this a long time ago; it's sat on my mantel until a couple of ladies at my estate sale today asked me how much I wanted for it? I told her I knew nothing about it & didn't want to sell it until I found out. I asked her if she knew anything about it & she told me she thought it was bronze (it is very heavy) and she thought it might be one given to new priests - who keep it their whole life & then are buried with it! Is this true? Can anyone tell me anything about it? It's funny because I never gave it a 2nd thought, I just liked it - but if what she said is true then it's an even more unique piece. It measures 13.5" x 7.5" (and a magnet wouldn't stick to it - so it's not metal, right? Thank you; I appreciate any help.
