A symbol of authority, a mace ,is held in his left hand and a distinct winged cross is hung around his neck to symbolize Shamash, the Assyrian sun god.

...wasn`t that the image that got you all mad at me...because of the flaming arm or something? see...we can resolve serious "issues" after all!

..oddly enough I did make several pieces in silver years ago and sold every one ,I think, at the Los Angeles convention.

...that`s comforting...I thought they would only wear the instrument of torture and execution they got from the Romans...same place they GOT religion.

...and the German IRON CROSS is also ours and so are the splendors of Islam ours....anyione who wants is welcome to Peter.

It is very tempting...I mean the letters are a thing of beauty in themselves...everyone who`s seen them here loves them just for what they are...and this is a country with excellent jewlers...hmmmm.
