But, we just need to find the right words to search for it.
Sorry, Clough.
Did I mention that I was a bit clueless in the use of some of the stuff available. LOL. When I started to upload the first picture. I thought it would take all the photos. But somehow I ended up opening another album. My bad -- Ace :)

Alexander in the Oasis of Siwa
I think the person depicted on the item is Alexander the Great.
He appears to be wearing what are called the horns of Ammon. You can read the above link to find out the importance of that as far as why he would be depicted with them.

Hi, I will continue to research what I can. Our ISP (Wildblue) is "punishing" us for over usage of our bandwidth. (My son loves youtube) I am crawling along at about 28 kbps. I will be checking into Hughesnet shortly. Thanks for all the help.
Aside to Clough or Jrebel, I have also a blanket box on my space that I've been researching its origin. Is this the correct site also to ask for help? I was going to post some pics but Wildblue has us restricted for a month. OMG what will I do? :) ACE

Yes, this would be a site where you could ask about the blanket box. But, you would need to do so on another thread. Would your question be about it as a collectible or as furniture, or maybe something else?

Ace, please do post the Blanket Box. I viewed it on "Ace's Space". The detail in it is just amazing. I would love to hear how you obtained it, and what you know about the history of it. Let me know if I can help in anyway.

Thanks Jrebel7, I would appreciate the help. I now takes me "hours" just to load up this site. I can't even get to my "Ace's Space" at the moment. I may have to go back to my dailup MSN account. That would be a nightmare. -- Aaarrgghh. LOL Ace.
P.S. I don't suppose --- if I start a thread you could upload the pictures?? Ace :rolleyes:

I hadn't thought of it as a locket!! But it would be awfully heavy to wear. I've seen some items on Ebay that are called clips (why, I'm not sure) but till I see it called something else then I don't know what to call it. But it is designed to open like a clipboard that holds maybe a legal pad or something. Ace
P.S. Again thanks for all the help.

As a collectible. It has an imprint on the back says "Made in France". No other marks on it. No date either. The fact that it has an imprint in English and not written in French says to me that it was made for export. But the pictures are awesome. Every time I look at it, I see more details in it. There is a big overall picture and lots of small detail stuff around the big picture. On one side it has a horse and buggy and a castle in the background. It really is amazing. I use it to hold my living room throws and such. It has also been described as a firebox. I would never put anything related to a fireplace in it. So on with my research. I'm heading to the library to see if I can find any info on Alexander the great, the horn of Ammon, and blanket boxes. This is a great site. Thank you all for making it so interesting. Ace

Hi Ace,
I just came in to check mail and saw your note. I will be in and out this afternoon. I will check ever little bit to see if I have heard from you. I am available though to discuss or post images. Are you posting a new thread for the Blanket Box as Clough suggested or are you wanting the images here on this thread?
