Rado,
Wow, that's fantastic! I've done some lost wax casting myself and am filled with admiration at the quality of your work.
Best,
Lucianus

Quote:Applique-Depicting the Head of Cupid. 1st ADAccidentally while looking for information in the network I found a website that I had lost
Once the I saw this pendant-application in a website (which I can not find now to give а link). I decided that this is a very beautiful article: it was described as: Applique-Depicting the Head of Cupid. 1st AD. Head of Cupid upon on 'dolphin-tail' crescent. Measures 44 mm by 34 mm. It will serve me for a belt pendants and other ornaments on clothes and military equipment.

After I met the book “Militaria Sisciensia “from Radman-Livaja I made several attempts to recreate the wonderful Roman buckle ( probably first century A.D.)
![[Image: buckleofsisak1.th.jpg]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/818/buckleofsisak1.jpg/)
In the book is clearly described by the authors on Croatian language that on the buckle has traces of silver plating.So I'm silver plating this model with a silver 925 sample. Collage is together with stages of my wax work.

This is a picture of the same buckle from the Museum in Zagreb together with my finished model collage. Picture are provided to me from a friend who has visited the museum.

The buckle are shown without tongue so I mounted on one of my standard tongue from different model of Roman buckle.
