apparently to save sculpture
the greeks used to use the same statue over
and just change heads for new characters
kind of practical, if you think about it
so i wonder where they lost their heads?

i heard something about this practice. yes, kind of practical. especially with sculptures of politicians. thanks for reminding me.
