Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Spliced this together with a couple of shots. You can see all the details - including the detriments. Yes, I know the image is big.

    How do you get images that large to load without exceeding the file size limit?

    There is no limit if you use your own website to host the picture (at least I haven't found the limit yet).

    Seeing this item, with its stunning patina [note the hollow of her throat...], can you imagine what it would have been but for a too vigorous cleaning from long ago. It lookes as if she is standing a field of glass crystals. But the rub on the arms, etc, removed more beautiful colors...

    Oh, well, we take'm as we get'em...

    OK! I let it go almost to the hilt on my 'dial-up'.....I'll give it another look on that T3 tomorrow.

    What kind of camera did Hepdaddy buy for your 'extreme' shots? Are you steady enough to shoot that freehand? image

    All mention of the gorgeous design and lovely toning aside, the engraving on that piece is freakin' incredible.

    Outstanding. The left arm (her right) looks so 3-D you'd think she was a statue of pure silver.
