[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [qb] ^Okay, I will judge. For one: the Central Asian Albinos arrived in southern Europe circa 1,200 B.C. so this statue does not speak to the original Greeks. Secondly: The statue looks ARTIFICIALLY AGED! It shows no real corrosion and pitting like THESE: [IMG]http://realhistoryww.com./world_history/ancient/Images_Minoan/Black_youth.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://realhistoryww.com./world_history/ancient/Images_Minoan/Black_youth_2.jpg[/IMG] .

This bronze statuette was discovered near Memphis, in the region of Fayyum, in Egypt, and purchased by the Louvre in 1892. The unpolished surface of the figurine shows that it was not finished using cold-working techniques after casting, a method characteristic of bronzfounders in Hellenistic Egypt. The work is probably, therefore, of local origin, dating from the second or first century BC. This statuette is an original example of the taste for the exotic which seems to have taken root in the Greek cities of the Nile delta, such as Naukratis and Alexandria. During the Hellenistic period, sculptors became particularly fond of genre scenes and vivid, sometimes grotesque subjects, in which exaggerated realism bordered on caricature. In the third century BC, the workshops of Alexandria, in particular, became renowned for their production of figurines depicting the low life of the streets: old people, peddlers, beggars, dwarves, hunchbacks, and other characters. As in the example of this young slave with his hands bound, small figures of black children in bronze or terra-cotta, in a variety of attitudes, were extremely abundant. The exotic ethnic origin of the characters added to the decorative element which was the primary concern in the production of statuary. Black figures were particularly highly prized during the Roman era, until the late imperial period, and provided artists with a favorite subject of study for sculptures in bronze or colored marble. http://www.louvre.fr/en/oeuvre-notices/black-adolescent-his-hands-bound-behind-his-back http://www.lessingimages.com/viewimage.asp?i=10050548+&cr=1808&cl=1 [/QB][/QUOTE]
