Hi all....normally i would post on my own page but i found this thing today after work with supergroove (ken) and figured it needed a little post on it's own..
I think it might have been some sort of perfume bottle or something of that nature.

The markings or writing on it look to be maybe india or somewere like that..and on the other side is a picture of a lion i think..

my wife says one of the stones in it is topaz..posible i think...
Anyways it is a very cool find as far as i am concerned.

Well Chris - words fail me! Maybe it contains the ancient curse of the ancients and if you open it you will unleash the darkest of evils and then the world is in dire straits...come to think of it it already is in dire straits!

There used to be a main street dunedin shop that made silver jewellery things like that often with coins. It is going back a bit, maybe 15 to 20 years. Soon as I saw it it reminded me of that shop. It made a lot of perfume type bottles on chains.
