Innsmouth Gold

Jason McKittrick brings us this artifact from Miskatonic University's Special Collections, formerly held by the U.S. Government.

"A solid gold idol sculpture recovered from the Marsh Refinery during the infamous "Innsmouth Raid of 1927". The item's subject is unknown however it is speculated that it depicts one of the fabled "Deep Ones" of Innsmouth lore. This piece is characteristic of the odd style produced by Innsmouth goldsmiths. Innsmouth Gold is exceedingly rare.

A nice piece with a great presentation. Glass domes just seem to set off an artifact. You might also consider looking at some of the Moche culture gold figures for inspiration as well.
