Steve, aren't they cool? I keep getting amazed at the craftsmanship with only hand tools.
These are all museum pieces--which I cannot remotely afford, so I collect pictures instead.

And Steve's wife will wonder why he took out the reverse mortgage.

I could see where one would want to collect these beautiful pieces of art. Amazing!
I'm with you DVC .... how incredible to think that these were created by hand nearly or over 2000 years ago!
As to the die sets .... again, it blows me away the skill of these artists, carving bronze with such incredible small details in reverse! Thanks for sharing!
