Hi all,

    I am newbie in this list and I don't know if I am in totally wrong
    place. I really (desperately) need some expert to help me
    identifying one piece of gold "something". It is therefore
    "something" 'cos I can't find any use for it whatsoever. Only info I
    have is that it is somehow related to either Naples/Italy or
    Aachen/Germany. 

    Also, I am not even sure if the original (upper image) is real, or if
    the imade has been quite heavily modified (in photoshop, I reduced
    the original to single golden ring, made four other layers with this
    single ring and fused them together resulting similar but fake
    image). This theory (Stetson-Harrison method*) of modification is
    based only on highly repetitive details in other 4 "rings" and weird
    looking shadow inside "something" - shadow should not continue with
    the same form and intensity on next visible "ring". So here it is,
    http://www.ganoksin.com/ftp/replica21jp.gif, with original
    resolution. 

    Also, any advice of other active (maybe more specialized) forums
    would be highly appreciated. Well, any clues would do fine.. 

Thanks in advance..
Justin Case
