Old New Ancient

Ive had this ancient for a month now but been too wrapped up in my other hobby to post it. Since its slow I figured I would finally post it. Shes one of the few affordable empresses I needed still and needless to say this was bought very cheap. Its a common type as far as mint and such but it didnt matter to me. What did was the look and price.

Kind of a different Valeria in my eyes. Yours is more lifelike than most I see. Nice pickup.
