regarding the bronze figure referenced in the subject line. I
indicated in the earlier idol thread have never seen a published
example of a metal, clearly Astarte-type figure, and I think that an
applicator finial is a strong possibility for this piece. However,
very recently I've seen a handful of metal Astartes presented at
auctions or shown to me by customers for the first time, none of which
seem to have a provenance. Buyer beware...
