Hello friends! One thread where everyone can participate ;D .... is dedicated to show our best figures of bronze, has these characteristics: :wink:
- They must be of bronze or alloy.
- And must have an approximate age of over 50 years. (so that everyone can participate.)
and started it ........

My first figure is the best I have is my Greek figure of Apollo:
To identify the source of this figure should be tested four points of composition that seem to have a home Praxitelean (300/200 BC), but no definitive conclusion.


1-A very flexible line divides the figures if drawn in the middle from top to bottom, all tend to be leaning

2-They are adapted to be front and back, rather than from the side

3-trees, drapery and other similar elements are used as support for Bronze figures, and included in the design instead .

4-faces appear at a hearing three quarters

These pics of the figure of Apollo are new, does not appear in the Banner and are a gift to the community T.net. :hello:

The following figure is a bust clearly belonging to the Etruscan culture 500/300 BC.
The Etruscans were a culture of unknown origin from the north of Italy, who eventually joined the Roman Empire and traded in northern Spain and southern France. eventually became part of Roman mythology, were the ancestors of the Romans.
The busts are almost an Etruscan invention, the bust itself, cast in bronze, they differ from the figures of other cultures to have almond eyes and smile (Toll smile Etruscan).
here I show this little wonder ......

The following figure is Roman a rider on horseback (possibly an emperor) but lacks the Head ,is my best figure Romana.
The piece depicts a galloping horse, released to run on their hind legs. Above him, a rider. The rider is armed ( a sword or machete, because is straight). Each leg is on one side of the horse. The bronze artist has tried to reproduce the time to begin the battle. The dress is the proper representation of the riders Romans.The artist has also represented the mane, revolt and uncut. The tail is lost, and you may even see the point where it is broken. The anatomy in general, has been detailed by the artist, although it should be intoaccount most of the animal is obscured by the rider's body hurt and not wanting to clean the figure so that it retains its value .. ... was found in some fields of fruit right next to some railroad tracks .... there had been buried for over 1500 years.
It belongs to the centuries 1 to 5 After Christ.

You will certainly outweigh anyone finding bronze in North America as far as age is concerned, you are lucky to hunt in such grounds, nice.
