[QUOTE="Loren Clayton, post: 9905677, member: 88329"]Hello Debora and Bronwen, Yes Debora, I did see that site thanks. There's no mark at all that I can see. I've seen this statuette described as Melpomene, Muse of Tragedy (and she is sometimes shown with a dagger) and also as Clorinda. With mine, it does look like a dagger I think. in this very similar piece (link below), you can clearly see the dagger. Is there such a thing as GH Goss fakes? The base on mine is much nicer. I'm wondering how copies still manage to retain all of the beautiful detail.
