I know pretty much next to nothing on the date of any of these, so feel free to express any ideas or share any knowledge. Look forward to seeing everyones pieces

That seriously sucks. . What was it made of?

It was made from Silver

Sorry to hear, did you mis-ID it as a basketball?

I was photographing it for Crusader at the time, because he wanted it

Jokes aside, it sucks! I've also learned a lesson which is why I always have a safe dropping zone when shooting pictures.

All of these are so amazing. I love religious finds. Never found any myself tho. Kind of on the wrong side of the world to find any.

What's the middle made of? It's a neat photo - it makes it look almost holographic

 

[Missouri_John]

I found both of these a couple of years ago in the same day at an old Catholic seminary. The one on the left is a mystery to me how old it is. The one on the right dates to the 20's i believe

This is mine:

Small (2x2 inches) Russian Orthodox (Greek Catholic) icon from about 1850s.



In itself this icon is not so rare, but is one very common brass cast icon from Northern Russia. The main character in the icon is St Nicholas. In the upper corners we see Jesus Christ on the left and Holy Mary on the right. Down below we see monks Sozimas and Savvativ Solovetskij – the founders of Solovetsky Monastery.
