I love the highly weathered "green" bronze version that has withstood the test of time (um, 24 hours of forced patination). But, the other one that was painted with bronze paint maintains a look that filament prevents. They both have their visual strengths.

Which one is best?

I'll admit the one on the left is kind of "too green."

Inspecting it, it turned out the oxidized bronze consisted of relatively large crystals. So I took my trusty Dremel and wore down three brass polishers until the entire figure looked far more "naturally aged." It now looks like a genuine bronze statue.
