<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 635711, member: 5833"]It did until that last bit. It was no doubt assembled of 2 & maybe 3 separate pieces. Guess the other way to put the question is whether or not the figure sounds solid or as though there is air space under it. Starting to have a glimmer of what you might mean by 'enclosed hollow'. I don't think that if you could separate the figure from the rest of the piece you would find she had a closed back & was hollow inside. Question is more whether we are looking at a solid piece attached to another solid piece or one big piece with a repousse figure, if that makes sense? Was the figure made by a liquid poured into a mold or from a sheet of semi-hard material being pressed into a mold?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
