Trophy Lookin' Thing - 6/13/2004 11:25:51 PM    BRichardson5   Posts: 378 Joined: 8/29/2003 From: Pacific Northwest Status: offline I have no idea what one earth this was used for. The only reason that I kept it was because it is just so odd, and is a cool conversation piece. There is a base that touches at four points. Each point is shaped like a shell. It is hollow down the center, and has a large bowl-like top with holes. It is lavishly decorated with fish, shells, and some sort of coat of arms. It's compostion is unknown- not really metal, but some flakey aqua blue substance. Any ideas on what it would have been used for? Attachment (1) Post #: 1
