Anyone has any statues of emperors and ancient deities or famous works of art?

I'm green with envy. Such a pretty statue. Looks like a fairly well done reproduction.


Coincidence?





I think not.

Every year there is a Fiesta in Elche , one spanish lady is selected as best Dama in show.

 

Do these women have hearing problems?

 

Quit mansplaining. I think that ladies are free to wear gold-plated carburetor filters as earrings if they so choose. This is after all, 2019, and if carburetor filters were OK with the ancients, they are certainly OK today.

 

..wow!...looks like it's off of maybe the big bronze of ole Constantine ein..l=kool artifact Erin

 

I have Poseidon riding a sea serpent in front of the small fish thank that I always say I’m going to setup

 

That’s AMAZING. Bronzes are you know are exceedingly rare.

The size seems to indicate that this would have been a slightly above life size statue! I would kill to see that ...

 

That would make a kick ass aquarium ornament. So where did you get such a fine sculpture?

 

Good point! This would be great in the corner of a larger, maybe 30-50 gallon tank.
One could theme the whole tank around Atlantis and Poseidon...that would be way cool


I actually this as a college graduation gift from my apartment-mate!

You can find it on both ebay and amazon for between $50 and $54:

The size is pretty good too - about 8 inches high with another 4 or so for the trident. It's solid, heavy, and looks pretty awesome

 

Thanks!

This is the zombie finger now:



It would be a pretty cool statue to see.

I am so jealous of this.....The Bronze statue that is. Lovely.

 

Thank you. I cannot remember where I found it during my travels.

 

I don't have one yet but I want to get one of these ram-headed sphinxes of Amen-Ra. They flank the sacred way between Luxor Temple and Karnak temple - about 1.5 miles.

 

Some close-ups of the details of the statue of Augustus. For a $42 statue the details are mind—blowing. I was expecting it to look less detailed than what it actually is.

 

I was thinking! How cool would it be to use paint the statue as it would have looked back in antiquity? For $42 investment you wouldn't be harmed financially, and could be a really cool experience.

I know, the painted version is beautiful. However, I recognize my limitations when it comes to art, so I'll leave that to someone else who knows how to do it better. I'd just botch it up. If I ever do find someone skilled enough to do the paint job, I might consider using their services and turning it into a full color version.

 

Great new addition! I love the Augustus!
I took this pic yesterday but have been busy at work.
These hang out where I let it all hang out Theyused to have vines running up them. But now are a bit more barren:

 

You got a great collection!
2x seashells, Augustus, Athena, Alexander (?), Nike, Perseus, Athena

Got a veritable pantheon

 

I love classical artwork. Statues, busts, artifacts just deepen the atmosphere and make these historical figures more alive.
Here are some of my scattered statues and artifacts I have in my home and library. Some were purchased in Rome.
There is Nero, in the center , on the table, a head of Augustus sits on a bookcase along with some artifacts, Vespasian is next , resting on a pedestal ( I especially like him), and Julius Caesar towers from above in the last image.
