<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nicholas Molinari, post: 1734631, member: 14250&quot;]I bought this from a seller who claimed it was a &quot;carved stone&quot; sculpture.&nbsp; When I received it, it was apparent (to me, at least) that this is not carved but rather cast from a mold, using cement or some other artificial stone compound.&nbsp; My suspicions were confirmed (I think) when I found this other piece (see pic 1) for comparison, from the same mold (the second piece is said to be 17th century Spain).&nbsp; I&#039;m returning the item, even though the seller &quot;stands by&quot; his description.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My question is: does anyone have any background on these casts?&nbsp; Is my opinion correct? If they are antique casts I might still be interested in keeping it, but if it is a contemporary (mid 20th century or later) creation, not so much.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]238054[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238055[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238056[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238057[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238058[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
