Sofia Valued Member United Kingdom 120 Posts	Posted 02/28/2021 08:31 am Hello! I bought this item from an Auction, together with some lovely old tokens, and there was a note saying 4 Rare Plaster Moulds. ( They are four in total). Any advice, please, on what they are or value?

Sofia Valued Member United Kingdom 120 Posts	Posted 02/28/2021 6:42 pm Could it be a Rome (mid-15th century), Apollo, Marsyas and Olympus, oval bronze plaquette? ( by Lorenzo Medici) Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 6896 Posts	Posted 02/28/2021 8:51 pm Nope. Medici and Rome don't go together. But the composition fits the description. Edited by tdziemia 02/28/2021 8:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 6896 Posts	Posted 02/28/2021 9:09 pm OK, I can understand Rome and Florence having been conflated. Here are two examples of the real deal, in the National Gallery (U.S.): This one from Florence https://www.nga.gov/collection/art-...ge.1361.html This one from Rome: https://www.nga.gov/collection/art-...e.43868.html Yours doesn;t look like either. Maybe an item from a museum gift shop? Edited by tdziemia 02/28/2021 9:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sofia Valued Member United Kingdom 120 Posts	Posted 03/01/2021 08:36 am Sorry, I meant Florence. Probably it's a copy after Apollo, Marsyas and Olympus, plaquette, cast in cold bronze. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
