REDSUN is proud to present you the Tripod of Plataea !
This object was made for the contest 'Serpentine column & Tripod' on the Second Life Forum.
(https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/473132-l13900-building-contest-serpentine-column-tripod/?tab=comments#comment-2340600)
The contest ask to re-build a un-broken version of the Tripod while keeping all the details.
I've made my best to make this one. It's not an exact reproduction of the original, but i do think it's a good result.

"In 479 B.C., after the battle at Plataea, the 31 Greek cities which participated at the wars against the Persians dedicated to the sanctuary of Apollo an enormous golden tripod from the tithe of the booty of the war. This important monument was famous for its base, a bronze column which consisted of the twisting bodies of three snakes, the famous “trikarenos ofis” (serpent with three heads). The Phoceans had the tripod melted down during the Third Sacred War, yet the column remained in place until 330 A.D., when Constantine the Great had it transferred to Constantinople, where it stands to this day. A bronze copy of the column was placed in its initial spot in 2015."

Beautiful work
I had already bought this inworld, but wanted the opportunity to leave you a review for your very fine work!
Played with it a little and reduced the height to 3 meters (sorry archeologists) - which made it just 3 LI - amazing for the amount of detail in this.
Thank you so much for sharing it.
