Summary and Remarks
All the bells are missing. The date and origin of this pair of Rimonim were arrived at through comparison with similar objects, e.g. ija numbers 2428, 2413, 2408. Both hallmarks are unidentified. One seems to be flower-shaped and, in fact, a woman's head inside a flower shape was quite common on this type of rimon (see Tardy 274 and Berst p.234 no.176), but it's not clear which this is. The second hallmark is completely unintelligible.
