That made sense to Svetlana K. and her business partner Vladimir T.???????
Just goes to show there’s a moron born every minute, even in Kzakhistan.

I don’t think it’s the real thing.
It looks Celtic . . . whatever that means.
But what does anyone really know.
I’m far from an expert on the topic.
Thx.

Thanks.
With your art work, I thought you would have ideas and I see they are about the same as my own.

Why all the anonymity?
It must have been the curse. After laying eyes on it, they all became heavy drinkers and now go to AA meetings.
I think the term Holy Grail in the title and article is a bit misleading.
The term "holy grail" is metaphor for something valuable and long lost and even unattainable but of such importance and so powerful, that many are compelled to search for it regardless of the effort or the price or futility of the endeavor.
Sort of like the Rosetta Stone has become a metaphor for the key to understanding. Too bad Svetlana K. and Vladimir T. weren't in possession of the Rosetta Stone of how to smell a scam.
But I dont get from the article that the sellers really tried to pass it off as THE HOLY GRAIL but they might have let the gullible (or perhaps drunken) buyers read into what they wanted to believe. I find the Nazi connection equally as dubious. I bet if you look real hard youll find a stamp Made in Mexico.
If you offered to sell me The Holy Grail for a measly few million, saying it was found in a lake in Bavaria and BTW, it looks like a cereal bowl with a vaguely Celtic design, Id probably pass, but only because of some temporary cash flow problems.
But I would tell you about my very good friend, pen pal and interested buyer from Nigeria. Youve heard of him, hes the former finance minister of the recently deposed king, and he wants to make some investments while in exile and sitting on all that cold hard cash.
I would give you his email address, as you would need to give him your bank account and routing numbers so he could wire the funds directly into your account, but he is a very private person and in fear of his life
.. better yet, Id offer that you could give me that information which Id gladly pass on to him, acting as an intermediary for a small upfront commission.

Thanks thanks.
My artwork is not all that . . . scholarly in terms of art history. Have paid some attention to it but not very studioiusly.
I can go into a museum or art gallery and like maybe 1-3 pieces out of several hundred. Or at most 3-10% of the pieces. I think the Vatican scored the highest, with me, for some reason.

I like some Native stuff and Chinese and Japanese stuff.
But I won’t tolerate spirit guide stuff, gods and idols stuff etc.

No, the above would not interest me, as the gold nazi bowl did not raise any excitement for me.
The objects of life and patterns, for the beauty of them, I enjoy.

Nope.
