This was found in king Tut's tomb, it's centerpiece is trinidite, a glass only created under the high heat and impact from a nuke or an asteroid
Very interesting
What civilization made this? cant tell.
not worth the cancer tho
Neat
Looks Mughal to me
>google search
yup it's mughal, god damn I'm getting good at this
Wootz blade plus lots and lots of real rubies = = Mughal. They where like the richest bastards, ever.
How much would these items be worth new, if you were to make a similar one today? Obviously the price would be inflated by the historical value.
Gems
Gold
Whatever the jeweler takes for his roughly one year of work.
The Jewels will be most expensive.

The gems alone will cost a real fortune, and having half a dozen gun and goldsmiths work on it for year won't be cheap either.
The work on this cup shouldn't be that expensive, a stone cutter will do it for a couple hundred $.
Now a translucent 41mm high Emerald, that could be a bit more expensive.
Close enough?
