[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9960669, member: 79705"]Okay 2 votes for the smelly founder of Western Philosophy. Hahaha definitely wearing this pendant and telling the kids that's who this is. It's fitting now that I've found all the bubbles. I have to admit I have more allegiance to Soda [SIZE=3](my one vice)[/SIZE] than Philosophy. :hilarious: I've had a look at the ones in the British collections and the ones on a base look like more wax, or they're left on the sculpting base....which look like slate, maybe? I agree they're beautiful on their own. I want mine to be hand carved, but with the extra wax left around the neck and lack of definition in some areas, where they're starker on carved pieces, make me think molded. Or molded with finishing touches. It's possible loss of definition is from wear though? :pompous: So molded plus the fact that he's a biggun at 2" made me think it's gotta be someone with wider appeal/recognition. I've also been assuming it's a pendant from the holes but.....may be something else?? :cyclops: So many guys with beards though so definitely the door is open until a source can be found, I think.
