Dig my other blog. foxpass: Riace Warriors, c. 460–430 BCE. Bronze. The Riace bronzes are two life-size statues of nude, bearded warriors, which were literally pulled from the sea following their accidental discovery by a scuba diving party off the coast of Monasterace, Italy in 1972. They are a major find since most ancient Greek sculpture is known to us only through surviving Roman replicas, usually carved in marble (see the Dying Gaul). On the other hand, these rare figures are cast in bronze and feature eyes inlaid in bone and glass, silver teeth and copper-plated lips and nipples to heighten their naturalism and tactility. They owe their high state of preservation to having been submerged underwater all of these centuries. So sexy. Where can I get a man like this? -- source link
