Shiva Pavarti Lotus Flower

[nickmarch]

Hi All!

This solid gold was found in a house that was to be torn down in NJ. I acid washed it. It tested at 22k. Thats the highest I could test for so it could be 24k. It weighs 51.53 grams. People have told me that the images are Shiva, Pavarti, a Lotus Flower and a snake. All part of the Hindu Religion. Has anyone ever seen anything like it?

It's really hard to take a good pic. This thing is really shiny after the acid wash.
