It's a diety not dirty . A protector of bad spirits . Supposedly when their a gift ,it means that it's married to us ...you can't get rid of it until we're no longer together after we're gone . It's very special. The guy who gave it to us bought it in the early 60s at a flea market in Sausalito Calif

I did! The most similar one I found is selling for £70 but that one didn't have a bottle opener to it so this one might go for a bit more maybe. I wouldn't want to sell it tho. I like it too much!

Caiman 94920 (Submission author) 2 years ago
This side of my family, the paternal side, has little history, no idea of what tribe she was from, just that the family lived in the Yuma area, near the river where the ferry used to dock. It's now a state park, the house was destroyed in a flood long ago, which is why the photo is in bad shape.

Which state park is it? I live in the Phoenix area (for just a year now) but am still exploring and learning about the different cities and such

It's so nice that you were able to transplant it from room to room. Must have taken a skilled electrician to accomplish this

Is your grandmother the one with the lovely smile? Only two smiles in the whole group, I wonder who the first photographer was that asked people to smile for their photo.
HarriMissesScotland (Submission author) 2 years ago
I think she is laughing at my aunt who is reaching toward the photographer, or trying to escape!

Bizarrely if you notice it's a protector and even more strange is he's standing on a alien figure . It looks like images from around the world of ancient beings . We've been told it's sky iron . A strange material from the sky . We love him and appreciate his overlooking us for over 50 years.

I did a Google Lens search and found many listings with different info and at various prices. However, from actual collectors the consensus seems to be "12TH-13TH CENTURY, TIBET, VAJRAPANI, BRASS," I can't vouch for the accuracy but it's an interesting piece for sure.
Denise Porter (Submission author) 2 years ago
We know he's from sky iron ,but his stance on what appears to be a alien is quite interesting
