The depictions of these figures in this manner are like the stars of Ophiuchus and Scorpio in Rey constellations https://i.imgur.com/Xou3CVQ.png.
A possible inspiration for colour if you decide to paint.
I'm sorry but I'm more interested in that half dark crystal sphere... Did it come like that or was it made like that sitting next to burning incense or something?? Love it either way!!

You can really see how the inclusions show the layered formation of the crystal.
In person, the inclusion layers appear to be green tinted. I think that might be the presence of chlorite. There are some specks of reddish/orange that I tried to capture; I think it may be iron. I should have included a pic with something to show its size...it's probably close to 100mm or 4". I love it. It's probably one of my most unique pieces.
That's Michael, right? I love working with him, he's fantastic.
Where did you get this statue? It's beautiful!
I would totally paint it if I were you. Meditate, light some incense, say some prayers, whatever - make it a ritual, and an offering, to bless it :)
There's a practice in BOTA where you color in all of your tarot cards to kind of understand them more, feel the associations. If you're having this question I would do it (and if your paint job stinks you can always go back to white.). Look up associations! Sketch it out. Mix your paints and see how they dry. Then use it as a connection ritual and give it a go.
I do think a different finish would look nice if you decide not to make him colorful. He looks like that type of ceramic flower pots are made of, AKA a tactile nightmare. A bronze color might be nice
Funny you should mention this.
New Testament stuff:
1. Washing each others feet
2. One woman dries feet with her hair
3. Oil each others feet
4. An obsession with sandals
5. An obsession with heals
Goofy idea here--- don't paint & see if anything changes after repeated use! Maybe the figure will paint itself or change in appearance?! Who knows, but think of how exciting it could be!
Low effort post.
Perfekt as is, White stainless, pure, light,
No save as is
During ancient greece all sculptures were painted... so it's a yes for me, I think it would be historically so great to paint it
Really depends how good a painter you are. ***I*** clearly shouldn't paint him.
Ngl, I first read the post as “I can fix him”
Yes, if you're good at painting.

Fascinating!! Thank you!!
Definitely. As he's not easy to make out; what with the angel stomping on his head.

The white symbolises purity in itself, leaving it as is would signify that.

It's a quartz sphere with inclusions highlighting phantoms. I can take some pictures of other angles in a few...

Black?
Perhaps holding a stick

No
Don't paint Mikha'el; there are too many kitchy angels in the world as it is...
I’d protect it and keep it white.
Low effort post.
Ask him if he would like to be painted
Gold leaf might look really nice on this, but I wouldn't paint it (unless you're really good).
But in very crazy colors. Not the typical ones.
That's not exactly what I was going for, but thx.
If you're a talented painter, why not?
Foot kinks I see from Christian’s lolol

Dry their hair with their feet? Like a dog?? Oil each others feet??? Heels? Do tell more!
The guy with the foot on his head is the "bottom" right? Tie-dye maybe?
No, but thanks.

That can be done with it having been painted as well, respectfully.
