Title: Small Silver.. Thing?
Post by: IdealWorld on October 02, 2013, 04:36:27 AM: Hi. I recently found this inside my other orniment that I am selling, along side with some very very old pins.

Anyone tell me about this? I think I could possibly be roman?

Bad quality I know. It basically is a man carrying a cloth and behind him is somebody else. It is almost north star shape. Nearly triangle.
