Cool addition, looks like it has a nice smooth glossy patina too.

 

Thanks and it does.

 

only complaint about the patina is its hard for me to photograph 'em

 

That is a fact. I average about half a dozen tries before I get a photo I can live with when there is a dark and polished patina.

 

I think those kind would be good candidates for the 3d photos

 

Greek bronzes are a whole other world. This is the stuff where good references, and good memory come in. I have a pile that I haven't been able to track down, but to be fair only try sporadically.
