[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1271040, member: 5833"]OK, what differences particularly stand out for you? I have been trying to compare, where I can, very small, fine details, such as the strings of the kithara, the crest of the helmet & the belt of the sheath, places I think it would be difficult to replicate exactly. If you enter 9212-9217 in the box for searching by gem number here: [URL]http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/gems/tassie/default.htm[/URL] you will see 9212, which is the amethyst, 9213, which is a copy of the gem made by William Brown, 9214 & 9215, which are the same composition with obvious differences, and 9216 & 9217, which are the same scene, but a different composition. The difference most obvious to me in the Brown is the angle at which the kithara is held. Without being able to put them side by side under a microscope, the only thing I could do beyond examination by eye is to print out the photo & start measuring angles & proportions. Thought I'd throw the problem at you guys first. :D[/QUOTE]
