Customer photo review of Gatto Egizio in Bronzo Mignon

Die Lieferung kam super schnell, war jederzeit lückenlos verfolgbar. Alles war perfekt verpackt. Und die kleine Bronze entspricht genau der Abbildung im Shop. Sie ist wunderschön! Tolles Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis. Nun dient die Katze meinen Schülern als inspirierendes Vorbild für die Anfertigung einer eigenen Bastet Katze aus Speckstein.

Gatto Egizio in Bronzo Mignon

After returning from a trip to Italy I found that the small bronze cat I had purchased at the Herculaneum had gotten misplaced. I found the Museum shop online and ordered a replacement. It came quicker than I had expected and was perfect. It was exactly as I had remembered it with clear detail in the design. I could not be happier with my purchase. Thank you!
