Viking burial ship artifacts on display at the Viking Ship Museum at Bygdøy in Oslo. The so-called "Buddha bucket" is a wooden pail made of strips of yew held together with brass bands. It has a sturdy molded brass handle. The most remarkable aspect is the ears to which the handle is attached. They are identical and consist of a small, cast human figure with large head and crossed legs, which is like a Buddha. It is likely to be or Irish origin. The question is whether the bronzecaster had such a model for his work. (source: The Viking Ships in Oslo, by Thorleif Sjovold)

Images made in the undisturbed studio of the Liverpool sculptor Arthur Dooley.
The studio has remained undisturbed since the sculptor passed away in 1994 and is now in the care of the LAA Arthur Dooley archive project. The project is working to document the sculptors life and work and will result in two exhibitions during the latter part of 2008.
The digital images were made by long exposure (30s) in conjunction with a small LED torch that was used to paint the subjects. Exposure was by trial and error.
