Lauersfort Phalerae
#1
Does anyone know or has it been measured on average how high is the relief of the images on the Lauersfort Phalerae?

Specifically, what is the relief height on Jupiter Ammond, Medusa, the Lion, and the double Sphinx.

Most reproductions that I have seen are quite shallow.

I have seen the best reproduction by Brian Stobbs who is excellent at repousse and captures the images nearly in the exact detail and artestry of the originals however, they are too shallow.

I have seen Dan Petersons and although they are most excellent in detail, they are too high.


Thanks

Sorry I forgot to ask in the last question :oops:

Are the lauresfort phalerae silvered brass (bronze) or are they made of silver sheet wrapped around a brass disk where the harness is attached

Thanks
