12 inch Jesus statue. Possibly made of silver. No visible markings. Appears very old. I know for it is at least fifty years old. Ice cube melted quickly on it and it is not magnetic.
the patent on the band is dated via US Patent's as 1953 if i remember correct.
I am amazed at the initials that are carved into the inside case of the backing. I have never seen this on my other watches. can anyone help me to identify this?
i tried to get the photo's as clear as possible.
hope somepne can help....
there is one piece missing off this watch- the dial button. the stem is there .

I am looking for information on this chest that I bought at Auction. I am trying to find out information about it and estimated value. It is in excellent condition with the only issue being a crack in the veneer in the top which could be glued down. There is a mailing label on the back stating it was Joerns Bros. Furniture.
I bought this icon in Albania from a small local trader who sourced it from a group of Albanian villages in the mountains. Orthodox communities were persecuted during the time of Stalinism, icons hidden and items now slowly come to market as people sell assets and feel less connected to the faith of their ancestors. Few icons of this size are however available.
Item size is app 40x50cm (incl original frame) Frame and painting are damaged but show lots of "character" It is hand painted on leather, which was then stretched on hardwood (chestnut) as is customary and clearly original (I think). These icons usually have been kept there for generations, hanging in a small byzantine church or peoples homes.
A good fiend, an Orthodox priest with a PhD in liturgy, inspected the icon and estimates it to be from early 17th century and positions its origins in this part of the Balkans. This is related to the method of production, the way greek lettering has been written on the icon, and his observations on the method of production used. (Beewax with gold powder and pigments, then applied to the leather)
There are candle and smoke damages at the bottom and other areas where the paint has come off as as a result of use over time through touching and kissing.
