I am offering at , what appears to possibly be an authentic Ancient Anatolian Hittite Bronze Stag WithElaborate Antlers; circa 2500 - 2300 B.C. Let me start off by stating that I am treasure hunter / picker, and in no way an expertin this area of collecting or researching. I bought this piece from an eclectic gentleman who knows lots of other collectors, and he bought it from one of them. I had no idea of what it was but I thought it would be fun to learn.
I did a little research, and noticed the old type, probably from the 40\'s or 50\'s, on the bottom of the wood stand sharing a little info, and at the bottom it reads \"The Oriental Institute\". So then I started thinking that maybe I really have something here, possibly a museum piece, or a real piece of history.
I used Valuemystuff.com to upload some pictures and learn the value, as I do buy and sell for a living, and they came back with the $60k-$80k. I have tried contacting educators and museum folks to try and verify if this piece is real or not, but I am striking out, as no one has got back to me. A few antique dealers have looked at it and told me that it appears that it could have been a student piece made to resemble an authentic bronze stag, but they all followed up with that they cold be wrong too. So now I am going to roll the dice and let you the buyer decide if it is the $60K-$80K true ancient Hittite Bronze Stag. I hope my photos are sufficient for you to zoom in on and see the metal for yourself and decide. Also a copy of theappraisalis included in the last picture. Please ask questions you may have, and if you need a more detailed photo of something I can provide that. Thanks for looking!
This piece (not including the wood mount) measures 16 1/2\" tall, 8\" wide, and 6\" deep --- Wood mount measures 4\" X 4\" X 2\" tall.
