[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3871241, member: 10461"]When I was in Mexico in '86, I bought a replica statue bust of Moses from a street vendor (the guy was literally standing in the middle of the street, hawking his wares to passing cars). I guess it was based on the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_(Michelangelo)']Michelangelo[/URL] work.
