Strange Lead Statue
« on: January 29, 2013, 01:49:17 pm »
HELLO ANTIQUE AFICIONADOS!

We have acquired this odd statue, there is great debate amongst us at home as to the origin of this statue, I've provided a link to it for your inspection - the camera on my tablet isn't great - but if better photos are required i'll take some with my proper camera!

We don't know anything about it, but it's got a very heavy base.

Happy speculating!

The statue reminds me of Don Quixote wearing his "wash basin / helmet".
