<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 4516899, member: 76316"]She's 4¼" high, ~7¼ oz. The clay color (visible at the bottom of her bowl) is an earthy red, but I don't know if that's terra cotta. The white bib is carefully done, as are the sculpting of her hands, foot and face. The red garment appears to me to have been painted more than once. The black on the bowl is sloppily done. She is fully enclosed except for the small vent provided horizontally from the bowl floor. If censer, never used...no scorch or residue. Navajo has been suggested, but I don't know enough to put much weight on that supposition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your observations, please?
