Subject:An authentic antique bronze or something from souvenir shop?
Posted By: Spartakos Sun, Jan 06, 2019 IP: 49.49.234.24 Please share your opinion on this item, an actual antique? If so how old would you say it is? |

Posted By: Robert Sun, Jan 06, 2019 Hi. My impression is that the quality of the bronze casting and finishing are fairly low, which might suggest a more modern piece. I don't like the white, chalky "patina"; not sure what's going on there. |

Posted By: Spartakos Mon, Jan 07, 2019 I agree, doesn't look like an artist's work, but on the other hand the technic used to make it looks different from generic souvenir grade. Maybe someone's hobby or an apprentice work. |
