<p>[QUOTE="Joshua Brown, post: 247746, member: 3615"]Taking your word about where it was found it might have considerable age, the one thing that concerns me is how much "chest" is showing... lets face it this Asclepius dude is pretty ripped and in most of the original statues he showing off a considerable amount more chest. I'm thinking this may be a repro but the best thing to do is to research the history of the area you live in and find out if it has a history that might match up with this type of item. If so then take it to some sort of local historical society or museum that could answer your questions with 99% more accuracy than I or anyone else I have met on this site could give. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
