Featured Polychrome Sculpture Missing Face or Dance with Beast Metal Marble ID

At first, I thought it was Mercury, what I thought was a wing maybe just a feather. the lady beast, well maybe no beast, but somehow she lost her face.
I would appreciate your opinion.

7 1/2" tall

Does anyone recognize the Artist and, is the definition Polychrome correct for this sculpture?

Doyou think that she originally had a face?

Thanks. Mugzy Maybe Robin Hood era.

 

Romeo & Juliet? With J in a hockey mask?

 

What

 

Romeo & Juliet but, Juliet in a hockey mask. What ball was this or am my getting my stories crossed

 

Romeo's face looks like a separate piece, painted, or perhaps a different material. Hers was probably similar.

 

I shouldnt think itd be difficult to replace her face.

 

getting the expression "just right" could be a challenge though ...

 

Since you asked, I wouldn't call this "polychrome." In my experience that term is most frequently used for multi-colored (more than 2 colors) ceramics. I've never since it used for metal items on which there has been intentional or unintentional wear at the high spots.

 

what kind of material is this made?

 

No, that isn't an example of polychrome. The definition is in the name. The Greek prefix poly = many. The Greek root word chrome = color.

Debora

 

This is an example of polychrome. The classical statue we admire in a museum and the way it would have looked originally.

I read somewhere that one of the key ingredients of polychrome is the marble. This marble base is probably not the original base on the informational images above.

Thanks, Everyone
Happy Halloween

 

The lack of multiple colors rules out polychrome.
