Bearded Man Statue - metal/bronze(?) - inscribed with "OMHPOE"

[kaypee80]

Bearded Man Statue (bronze). 6" tall inscribed with "OMHPOE" on front of base and "METAME - Made in Greece" on back. Good condition.

Again, not sure if this is a nazi era piece or not.

What is it + value?

Nothing to do with the Third Reich.

Indeed. This is the Greek poet Homer.
(The inscription "ΟΜΗΡΟΣ" is in the Greek alphabet and actually means Ómiros. This is his name in modern Greek, while it was Hómēros in ancient Greek.)

Dont want to clutter the board with garbage posts.. I may have a few other pieces that I'm just not sure qualify as war related material so ii - is there any way I can delete an original thread or at least move it to a more suitable area?

Hi KP, don't worry, it is fine where it is.

Cheers, Ade.
