Default Looking

G'day,

I have been looking and looking.

What I can say at face value from my searching is that this only has aspects of the old world silverwork. The old stuff has very deep repousse work to all aspects, the vines for example are all a rather flat repousse work here where as the old stuff differs greatly with various differing peaks.
The more modern stuff does not have such a high repousse work which throws me a little at the centre figure shows better than average depth but all else lacks this 3D depth.

My thoughts; No idea what it is supposed to be. It appears to be done by someone with a good knowledge of the art but not with the full expression of the art. My thoughts are varied and the chain and loop have me stumped.
