Seemingly rare magistrate. Dark green-brown patina.
Some roughness and corrosion.
Smyrna claimed to be the birthplace of Homer. While this monogram is listed in Copenhagen, this magistrate's name is unlisted in our references and we cannot find another example of this name in recent auction records.
