<p>[QUOTE="Wanttoknow, post: 168584, member: 1987"]Both sculptures are not in same size (All metal parts of one are a little bigger or taller than all parts of second one). I think metal is brass: there are couple tiny spots of brass visibale under helmets and at the metal bases, but there is verdigris onto some places and I don't understand why. I am confused: bronze , painted brass or even copper?</p><p>Sculptures with wood base. Both bookends are signed on the metal parts of base. Signatures are "molded" and then painted in gold. One signature is covered with verdigris. I am wondering if this sign is signature of artist. </p><p>I wasn't able to read it.</p><p>Measures: just wood base 5" x 3"x 2" H each, but because one metal sculpture is a little bigger one bookend is 9 3/8" H and another one is 9" H.
