Do you have a camera that is more modern than the statue ?
If so, pics would be wonderful ;D

thanks for such a prompt reply,I couldn.t upload pic due to server problem

Could be your pics are too big for this site !! Try resizing down to 1500 to 2000 kb !!

Would need good pics, notations of any markings, history of piece (origins, etc).

He has been around Bigwull too long !! ?? Had to go back and look at the name twice to make sure if I was reading Ipcress post or Wullies !!

Not sure that either one would want you mistaking them for the other!!!

Hi.
it would be great for me,if any one clarify what exactly is required??
-
Can you post some clear pictures, including details?
Maybe take the pictures by daylight.
-
Clear crisp pictures of piece overall, front and back. Close up of Details and any construction (any screws used to attach pieces together). Pictures of any signatures, unusual marks (not consistent with the decor on the piece).
And of course, history of how you came to be with the piece and what you know about it before you got it.
Natural daylight is best (less glare) If a light in color object is to be photographed put with a dark solid background (use a solid sheet or blanket) or if object is dark in color use a light solid color background.

From what i see here..they look like Spelter...if you look at the underside...i.e. the base..the metal will have a grey look..a bit like pewter..they have most likely been cast using the lost wax method..see link
