Sajen, Just a comment regarding your miniature Dha. My memory's not what it was, but I had a similar one many years since and was told by the previous owner that it was a 'mead moah' (could be a different spelling) and was kept by a monk to ward off evil spirits. I've not heard the term since then and have no way of knowing if there was any basis for the tale but thought it may be worth passing on.

Thank you Mel,

But a mead moah is something different, it's a talisman and blessed with an inscription, see the both examples in my collection. They can be similar small but most are somewhat bigger.

Sajen, Yes, thanks for the memory jog (or should I say eselsbrücke ) The one I had was more like the first one in your photo, as I said it was a long time since.

Hi Mel,

I know this problem!

And yes, it was a "Eselsbrücke" for you!

Detlef
