I want to know more this statue i have.
Art Deco piece and French made, marked bronze proof. Signed by Myron.
In side has A1850 text. Height 39cm. Black marble stand.
I know so far this is mini replica Greek's Myron statue from 300BC, orginal was full size bronze Discobolus statue. Orginal is lost and perhaps romans stolen it over 2000 years ago, because there is romans marble replicas that made after.
Looks like my physic, about 45 yrs ago!
Love it -- I have a *similar* Disc thrower posted too....but smaller.
Never did figure mine out and what was written on it...??
Thanks, waiting answer from auction house. This can be museum made repro.
I can't find artist mark. Ebay has lot of chinese fakes.
