I read about it in the newspaper recently as one of the members in the research and digitalizing team is a compatriot.

Loc: Netherlands, the HagueLast year I admired a lot of them (behind glass) but I never could hold one my hand. (Hmm, for some reason the law suit-link doesn't work any more. It did when I made the post.)
I kept the article and I wish I could translate it, but it's very long. Anyway, in the worst case this specialist in the Elamite language has still half a year to do his research and photographic preservation work. link
The sad thing; their money value is not really very high, so if they would get separated and dispersed it would be such a waste.
As much as I would like to have one, I would not buy one, but rather see them kept together. Shame.

they call it, in Israel one time. Turned it over to the
authorities. Quite a find for me. Exciting.

Did you take at least a picture? Well, you're good. If I would have found a heap of then I would have turned them over to the authorities. If just one, I'm sure I would have smuggled it home.

So far it looks like it was a Roman object. So who would it belong to after all those ages? The 'honest' finder?

Sorry I did not see your reply.
It was just one. I might have smuggled it home, but did not feel right about it somewhow.
