    That's a nice example. Good strike and good centering as well. Grats on the pickup.

    Isn't that an oxymoron? image

    Nice one, there. Reminds me a little of the one I used to own, though mine was a bit darker. (Edit to add: the portrait on your piece there is also a bit more flattering.)

    Ditto to what mdwoods said about the strike and centering.

    Lol she probably wasnt happy cause of Elagabalus's actions.

    That was my first masea, older portrait/Pudicitia.

    Ive gone through 3 Maesas, this current one I think will be the keeper for years to come.
