Ven. Chariton the Confessor
Found this marble bust in the museum the other day. Nice quiet face with the beard and Greek letters carved underneath.

Daniel Lewis That looks interesting. I'd like to see the Greek letters up close.
هلا عبود Can you put the picture up close so we can see the Greek letters? Where and when did you take it exactly?
Samuel Miller That marble looks solid. Daniel's right about the letters, hard to make them out from here.
Anna Anderson I wonder what the Greek says. Could be the name of whoever that is.
Thomas Moreau I would like to know in which museum you saw this marble head and when exactly you were there. The Greek letters are too small in the photo.
Елена Петкова The marble looks pretty rough underneath, like it was left that way after the chisel. The Greek letters are seen a little more clearly in the shadow of the beard. Where exactly was this museum?
Пётр Киселёв Is it possible to find out which museum it was in and on what days it is open to visitors? I would like to go see it live.
Νίκη Λαμπροπούλου I looked closely at the letters, they are not legible at all.
Елена Соколова I wonder what letters are there.
Игор Стојановски The marble looks at least 1500 years old and the museum building is from the late 19th century with those high arches and thick walls that are still holding strong. The letters are really hard to read from this distance.
Παναγιώτης Χατζής The museum building with its high domes and thick walls from the end of the 19th century still stands strong, as if not a day has passed. The age of the marble, however, seems much older than that.
Анна Волкова I wonder what museum it was in and when did you go there? I would like to know more precisely.
Daniel Dumitrescu The chin comes out well in the picture.
Vangjel Kristo I liked how those high arches were built in the museum; the thick stone walls look as if they will stand for another two hundred years without being moved at all.
Ελένη Οικονόμου The marble looks quite painted underneath, as if they didn't carve it too much. I don't understand what the letters are saying at all. Where exactly is this museum?
Емил Атанасов The marble looks quite rough underneath.
Юлія Гончар The marble underneath really looks unfinished, like they stopped after the chisel. The beard casts a good shadow over the letters.
