<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 171812, member: 54"]Looks like some cast material. Nice you can easily compare it to the real marble base. The heads are the clearest clue to cast liquid. Why it was put on that base and not even centered I don't know but I doubt the factory did that; perhaps that was done to keep potential buyers from noticing gas bubbles on the bottom surface, which are proof of a casting process since the rubber molds must of course be inverted when filled and while the liquid is hardening. If you doubt that just remove the base and look.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
