    Hello all.

    I have this statue of a old man in my possession.
    Unfortunately I do not know much about it.
    Can someone please help me identify him?
    The matetial feels very cold and weighs 4070 grams, its height is 43 cm.
    Is it old or replica?
    Thank you very much for your time.

    I deleted my marble guess, since it’s just a guess. Others who are more familiar will be along. ;)

    Not sure it is marble.
    Looks like it has a shellac or some sort of coating. If it does, then it might be Alabaster.
