<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 660235, member: 2844&quot;]I think Kalindu meant Sri Lankan Dutch or Portuguese, which would be unlikely to have Dutch or Portuguese marks.</p><p>I know the Dutch East Indies, of which Sri Lanka was once a part, had its own marks. I only know the old marks for Batavia (present-day Jakarta, Indonesia) though, and these marks are not Batavian.</p><p>But these two are much more recent than Dutch or Portuguese colonial times.</p><p>Also too recent to be Russian Imperial period imo. There is no wear on them, whereas Russian crucifixes etc were worn daily and always show wear.</p><p>The style of the crucifix is Western (Roman) Catholic, too realistic to be Eastern Orthodox, imo. The Russian Orthodox bodies are more stylized, either slightly rigid-looking, or with a sharp bend in the hips.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
