Being used to the blank statues, the idea of couloured statues was a bit revulsive to start, but after finding that link on the primaporta and the other recreations, I have become an instant convert!
The colours give them a life that the blank stone only hints at.
And as they were painted by contemporaries, the tunic debate should be well on its way to being settled! :lol:
The technique used seems to allow a pretty accurate recreation of the original colours, which will halp us re-enactors a great deal, I would think.
So.... coloured it is!
