surfing around a site that sells statuary...I came across this. Now, I have to ask...

Does this look like Hermes or a member of the von Trapp family out for a hike?

My vote is on the former. (For serious, can't you just see a walking stick in his right hand?)



I very much like this statue of Dionysus...

it does kinda look like a friendly swiss hiker and not a classic god. funny.

Never liked that Hermes statue, there's a reason I don't own it.

I would like the Dionysos statue more if it didn't have the gold trim.

*LMAO* I misread your first line and was reminded of this.

To bad you don't know any sculptors who specialize in religious statuary.

I don;t blame you for not owning it. I wouldn't either.

I saw the Dionysus one elsewhere in more of a pure white without the gold- don't remember where now though.

I have that Dionysos statue myself. And they do make it without the gold, but I'm not sure where.

It does look like someone from the Von Trap family.

BTW thanks for the link, they have some nifty Roman Gods, and they are not just copies of the Greek Gods. As much as I like the Greek Gods, they are not the same at the Roman Ones. Except for Apollo, who is both.

I think I know which one oyu're talking about...the one with the peacock?

If I ever had a reason to have a statue of Hera, that's the one I'd have.
