click for details		Priceless Past $695
This interesting little ceramic figure is purportedly from the Majapahit period (1293-1500)of Eastern Java. Possibly a religious figure, it is barefoot and has tribal head-dress and flowing robes.

click for details		Priceless Past $79
I have seen weapons such as this one described as everything from ancient Roman, Celtic and Chinese to medieval and on and on.

They are most likely 18th or 19th century. They have crudely decorated brass collars between the socket and blade.
