We thought it would be fun to start a thread where we post photos of great silver medallions. IP: Logged

FredZ Posts: 1070 Registered: Jun 99	posted 10-26-2006 07:46 PM I see two faces on the front of the helmet in the Freeman Durgin warrior. Facinating that they are so many faces. Fred IP: Logged
swarter Moderator Posts: 2920 Registered: May 2003	posted 10-26-2006 10:34 PM And the face on the side of the helmet looks like it may be two - the left side of the face looks like a left facing profile superimposed over another face with only the right half showing!

ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 10-27-2006 05:20 PM Below is the head on the necklace around the warrior's neck. Below is a better view of the two faces forming the left side of the helmet. Also there is a small horse or other four legged animal just to the top of the helmet. Freeman Durgin made quite a few medallion pieces, but most portray traditional mythological figures. I have only seen one other piece with a medallion of this type. I think he added all these figures to lighten up the seriousness of all those mythological figures from the past. IP: Logged

Pinsabigail Posts: 35 Registered: May 2003	posted 10-27-2006 09:52 PM Here are a few medallion faces on buttons just stamped STERLING. They have been attributed to Shiebler. Note that two have additional creatures - with great faces - on the heads. IP: Logged
