I Need a little Help

Post by bessusww »

I'm posting this message to ask how I can put a few pictures of an Item I picked up in Halkidiki about 2 years ago...Ive mentioned it to Marcus in private mail and was advised he has not seen such an item.

What I have is a solid brass replica of the Alexander Ivory head Carving found at the Vergina Site.

The item seems to be made from Brass 5 inches tall and weighs in at 1 kilo and 97 grams...Ive googled the Item and cant find anything like it anywhere...I know the coins etc etc can be found every where...Ive not seen anything like the bust I have.

Its definately Brass and the item is an exact copy of the Ivory Bust any ideas how I can show the pictures in pothos Ive tried but it says the pictures are too big...Ive pictured the Item next to a Telephone to give an idea of its size.

I temporarily opened a phoney Facebook to show my Pictures...Peter Hetherington.

Its the only way I could think to show the pictures without asking for members E mail to show them...Please take a look.

Ah! Now I know which images Richard is talking about.

Thanks, Richard - yes, they're rather good, aren't they?

Thanks Alexias

I dont know how you got the pictures here...Im glad they got here....I googled the Original Ivory Sculpures and the one I have is not totally a replica but I think its very Close...Apart from some of the rather Expensive Gold Pendants I found...This little item scores very highly

Thanks

Richard
