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

Best,

Applique-Depicting the Head of Cupid. 1st AD
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.

Accidentally while looking for information in the network I found a website that I had lost . I wondered where I've seen this Applique-Depicting the Head of Cupid. http://www.ancientresource.com/lots/roma...facts.html

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.)



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.
