T. P. Collection (not physically in the Moneta Museum). General type is Hartill # 1.3 as a bronze cowrie, here this very scarce variety that has been wrapped in a thin gold foil, reportedly a type often found in today's Mongolia. This is an exceptional example that is clearly authentic. It's 29 mm in length, weight figure to follow.
