Found this one in my newest colonial farm field permission. Apparently these are a fairly common find on old sites in LatinAmerica and Europe but Ive never seen a similar one of them found in the states so a special find for me Ecce Homo=behold the man and mater salvatoris= our saviors mother

Those are so cool. Love those types with the sideways clasps, with hand-drilled holes, the beautiful patina, and the pre-industrial revolution look. We get them here in CA at sites that date fro the 1770s to the 1830s. Great pix !
