    This is from a brutalist style Greek god “PAN” sculpture. My other photos are too large to post... and can’t figure out how to do it

    Please show a photo of the entire sculpture, and size is also very helpful.

    Glad you started this thread, William.

    Good job, William!

    Did you acquire Pan in Florida or elsewhere?

    iYay, thanks for the photo tip Bakersgma! & Hope that helps antidiem. Note: the base/tree stump scratches brass/bronze, the body scratches silver/spelter. I’ll post two spelter panthers on green onyx bases tonight. They are beautiful and I’ve looked most everywhere to identify/ value them.

    Mareniths ?? Thanks William and welcome to Antiquers!

    I've seen a Louisiana artist makes similar pieces, I will look for her name. As Bakersgma asked, I will too - did you get this statue in Florida? Are the panthers by the same artist?

    I did get this in Miami, from a “picker” friend who said it came from an interesting estate sale (so it could initially be from anywhere) Here’s another possible clue. There is what appears to be a B, 8 or g incised inside a circle. Any guesses to artist or value? Thank you for replies and valued consideration The spelter panthers are totally different, I’ll post them separately thanks again, Will 1FEF1E43-348A-4CC3-834F-11DC95ACB524.jpeg

    That signature looks Greek.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I agree...

    So I see:

    Kappa
    Lambda
    Alpha
    Beta
    Epsilon
    Nu
    Iota
    Tau
    Eta
    Sigma

    But I could be wrong. In fact, think I am. (But may be close.)

    That's something like what I thought, except I missed the Kappa at the beginning and wasn't sure about a couple of the others...
