Pewter Wood Nymph I guess ?

MaineRelic · Oct 9, 2011

Only had 2 hours to hunt this morning and went to a wooded park where I have found Indians and silver in the past . Besides clad I only ended up with one Wheaties 1944,and A no date buffalo nickel . Decided to clear a beer can signal and this pewter/ lead decoration popped out instead . A wood nymph is all that comes to mind . The metal is quite soft and bends quite easily so very high in lead content, maybe not pewter

? She has a skirt made of leaves no less . Quite fetching too !

pretty heavy at 168.5 gems . No Hallmarks of any kind that I can find ?? Thanks for looking . M.R.

thats a cool find! My 5 year old daughter would have flipped if we found something like that on one of our hunts!

judging by the hole pattern it may have been mounted to some kind of furniture,maybe a dresser or a headboard,I would make a plaque out of it if i was you for display ...great find

Wonder if it's a collectable?

But why so many attachment holes, and there's decoration (tho not as detailed) on the back, so it's two-sided?? :icon_scratch:
