This is my contribution to Alibbs alphabet crazy challenge
A is for Art. Art is eternal. It comes in countless forms whatever we choose to indulge in. I chose sculpture. This is a poor copy of Paolina Borghese as victorious Venus but I was not interested in what it represented.
We were holidaying in Italy and there on the road side vendors were selling these sculptures. We were warned that we should bargain, I also knew it was not pure marble but made from soft stone. I bargained and got it for 50, 000 Liras Those days it meant just Rs. 2500/- I do not know the prevailing conversion rate.
I gifted it to my niece who was eyeing it after it stayed with me for years.

Italy is famous to have these kind of artifacts.
Yes I shared your love for artifacts in and outside my home.
Your garden must be a viewers’ delight Carol.
I love art of any kind that I can comprehend. Sculpture is one that enthralls me .
I love it too. I have an angel in my garden on top of our bird bath
That’s a very good entry for the Alphabet Crazy challenge. Thank you for the background information on the sculpture.
Happy to share it. That was a great memory specially how I had to use sign language and bargain?
