<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1164143, member: 5833"]I see the little beads/bumps that suggest a molded material, but in most ways she looks like shell to me. Are you sure she's not? No one in particular. A transitional figure, still remnants of the neoclassical look, on her way to becoming a pretty lady with a corsage. First third of the 20th century. A basic cleaning might get rid of crud making her look like she's 2 pieces. That, or it will detach the parts. Can you get a fingernail under the edge of the figure in places? I'm not seeing the separation you describe. From the shot of the edge, front looks convex; is back concave?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
