cheap thrill

Hyperion

hi all, hope everyone is well, dry, and safe.

I dont collect much these days, but always interested in a cheap item. found this on ebay, struck on silver (hand hammered, I believe)

Kind of neat, if I do say so.






just sharin!

That IS neat... but what is it?



I mean, I know what it mimics, but what's the story there?
