<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 57719, member: 54"]Thanks, much better pix. I'm no expert, still learning myself. The patina looks better close up but I can't tell if the bronze losses are casting defects or corrosion or something intentional to make it look like corrosion losses. Probably needs hands-on exam to tell. The headgear/hairdo might be Japanese. I can't find anything like it! The most unique thing seems to be the base/pedestal portion, so if u can find another like it u will be heading the right direction. The broken arms (inside them) may reveal something about the casting technique.</p><p><br /></p><p>So up close in the new pix I can see that this object is completely different from about anything I've seen and u will need to look for other bronzes with some detail or details in common.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
