Giannis vs Polinik on the color of bronze :)

[caiusbeerquitius]

The first pic above was taken by me. Th helmets polish was identical to that in the second pic, but the helmet stood in my room for quite a while, so the surface corroded slightly (patina). The stones the helmet is standing on are Stainzer Gneis (Gneissic rock from Stainz in Austria) which contains a lot of iron, thus making the whole picture appear much more reddish than the bronze actually is.
