[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 336402, member: 84"]I bought this at a local antique shop for $10. I had a Anri carved wood angel/cherub from Italy before that sold on eBay for $90(!) - so I bought this one; even though it has plaster? chalk? under the gold gilded paint. Looking into the holes on the angel I can see wood inside; so what is that plaster/chalk? Where could this have come from? The holes look like they were from screws & makes me think it was part of a larger fixture of some kind, but knowing exactly what it is or what it was a part of will help me in writing a description to list it. As always, I am very appreciative of your help!
