Title: Another mystery - a three faces sulphide
Post by: alexander on February 18, 2008, 02:38:05 PM

This one came from Belgium, a little over 2" wide, a flat polished base, yellow 'pillar' in the
centre, controlled bubbles.

It also has three different sulphide profile heads, ancient greek or roman looking women. 

I think it's a very nice sulphide but I'm at a loss as far as identifying it's origins.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

not sure on the maker, it might be something to do with Italy, as there the three graces

Interesting :)

In Greek mythology they were known as Charites, the romans called the Gratiae and now they re known as The Three Graces.(info from Wikipedia)

I think you're on to something as far as the ladies, now only maker remains  :) 

Could the yellow core with those bubbles provide a clue?

Thanks  :)
