One of the 14th or 15th century intricately carved capitals which adorned the arcade walk of the Doge's Palace in Venice; this one now preserved and displayed in the Palace museum (while an 1890's copy sits in the original location on the exterior arcade.) PG101 "Broken" Theme

Love this aged sculpture relief work, even though it's cracked. #1700506Michele Peterson December 06, 2017
Love the shadows and textures! Interesting about a copy sitting in the original location, while this is in the museum. Great capture of this unique find! #11663027Mitch Spence December 06, 2017
Tint and textures tell an ancient story here, Chris. #11663064Joanna Kovalcsik December 06, 2017

Gosh, it looks like a little boy's face behind all of that armour. Very nice, Chris. #11664027Chris Budny December 12, 2017
Thanks, Terry -- I agree, the soldier looks very young (despite being centuries old! ;) #11664326Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
