    This one:

    Another one that has appeared in these pages before is sort of what it would have looked like if Dr. Seuss had cut cameos:

    Hope your daughter has not now gone completely off cameos!

    No, she was very appreciative of the good ones.

    That's another corker isn't it :hilarious:.
    What is that weird fluffy,fishy thing with wings and her legs are just...odd!.
    Daughter loved the good cameos so no damage done. Good for her to compare and she's just old enough to deal with the full frontal bosom!

    wow what beautiful clocks, definitely a link between astronomy and Time.
    I think your cameo is stunning. " You know it not easy floating through the galaxies without getting your hair frizzed-up a bit dodging meteor and magnetic force pulling your body this way and that"

    Sorry for diverting your thread. When I'm having difficulty with the space-time continuum I tend to resort to humor.

    It would not surprise me if your figure was salvaged from a clock & bolted to a new base. I was still pretty new here when this one was posted:

    Turned out to be the remains of something like this:

    Wow I do believe we have a match. Which sister is this? My thinking is that if there is 2 there must have been at least 8 one for each of the 8 Muses.
    Thanks
    Inh

    I ask @Bronwen, if she would indulge us with her “musings” on the question. :happy:

    Unless there's a Muse of Wine & Roses, she's not styled properly for any of the canonical 9. She does have a 'gather ye rosebuds while ye may' quality that would be an appropriate reminder of fleeting time.

    Ancient sources are not in complete agreement, but 9 is what we usually go with these days.
