An intriguing bronze crescent moon shaped object with unknown function found in the Kayseri area of Anatolia, Turkey. Is is a loom weight or perhaps made as jewellery? If a loom weight, it is very finely made for such a purpose and I have only ever seen cruder stone and ceramic examples. It appealed to me as it reminds me of Henry Moore and Brancusi sculptures and their love of and influences from ancient art. Please let me know if you know what it is!
