Two bronze plaques

ByKoen van Velzen 11-06-201612-02-2026

As I already explained in announced earlier, I had the two sandstone house signs/gable stone cast in bronze.
This relief is still for sale; they are each cast in a series of four. The patina can be altered as wished.

Looking for the right form In the previous two articles, here and here, I explained that the eight statues we've taken down from the Minervalaan 28-30 arrived in a very battered state.
