[QUOTE="Claudia Davis, post: 177040, member: 3102"][IMG]http://s752.photobucket.com/user/DanielSteven20/library/[/IMG] This is a heavy metal statue, 13" high, it weighs 13 lbs. A magnet does not stick to it. It is marked T. DOBIOT in capital letters. When I did research, I could not find anything by that name, but there was a metal sculptor by the name of T. DORIOT. Questions: What kind of metal could this be? Could the B be an R, please look at photo. I would assume it is a reproduction of an original, but how can I be sure? When was this made? What would be an approx. value for a statue of this kind. I appreciate any information/assistance with this piece. Thank you![IMG]http://<a href="http://s752.photobucket.com/user/DanielSteven20/media/DSCN8596.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx163/DanielSteven20/DSCN8596.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo DSCN8596.jpg"/></a>[/IMG][/QUOTE]
