[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9601718, member: 76316"]I may have posted this about 18 moths ago, an' if so please forgive my faulty memory for this dupe. She's 14 1/2" tall, her head is ~6 3/8 high...set at a slight angle back from her neck; convex on the back an' wedge-shaped on the front, 7/16" thick at her chin to less than an 8th inch at the top. 4 3/8" across her arms; her conical foot is ~2 1/4" diameter, an' tho' reasonably flat she will just [I]barely[/I] stand...a breath will knock her over. Her face an' all facial features are very finely finished, as are the lineal features on the back of her head...but they're strangely offset to the right. There are 4 rings around her throat, about 3/8" apart. She sports an 'outie' navel. Her weight is 7 ounces. I'd love to know whether she is authentic, or particularly old...or anything y'all can tell me about what you see here. Thanks for lookin'!
