<p>[QUOTE="mmarco102, post: 510058, member: 8289"]Thanks both of you. The one thing I find interesting in all three pieces is that they were put together layer by layer. They are not sculptured from a piece of clay nor are they made from a mold. Each item has been attached, i.e. in the strap that goes under the horses neck, while attached to the side of the horse, it hangs loosely around the chest with about 3mm to 5mm gap from his chest. Amazes me how that survived no damage but all the legs were broken.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also kind of like that the mud was put on to hide damage rather then to fake the age. The breaks dont bother me as long as they are authentic. Love them, very happy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
