What a beautiful piece and again the mud seems to have been hiding a lot of repair work. The second image shows the horse after I removed as much dirt as possible revealing the cement type adhesive. As you can see, all four legs were broken, the horses neck completely broken, tail area, the mans neck and hat. This is taken a lot of time but worth every second in my opinion. The hoofs actually look a bit like bone(I like that effect, hehehe) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />. A close up of his face show damage as well and you can see on his neck the type of cement they use. Really tuff stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Almost every muscle on the horse comes through too. All three pieces are displayed in the same style box. Does anyone think they all came from the same place and time?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am wondering, if these are not actually old would someone repair them in this fashion?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you all for enjoying them with me.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]165911[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]165912[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]165913[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]165914[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]165915[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]165916[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
