MacGump Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Brasil was founded by crooks and bandits ( quote from native--not me). Because of that and the fact they change goverment every thirty years or so people don't seem to interested in their own history. If they can't get benefit (money) from something they tend not to care much about it. Came across these in a dusty back room of a church. Helped Padre clean them up for pictures---the silver crown weighs quite a bit. Silversmith markings are from Portugal . I'm surprised it has survived.
