Hellenic Diaspora Foundation, online collection catalogue, Open column, record 6816. Institution-reported collection; object photograph compared with the Archive record. Checked 8 September 2026: https://www.hellenicdiaspora.org/home/portfolio-item/constantin-andreou-6816/

The Archive retains 1985, welded brass, and 146 × 33 × 24 cm. The conflicting date and dimensions in the 2004 catalogue remain unresolved. The material is supported by Mortaki’s brass identification and the Greek and French technical note in the 1999 catalogue; the 1998 caption’s English word “Bronze” does not agree with its Greek text.
