<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SYNCHRONCITY, post: 2139260, member: 6283&quot;]Many years ago I won this on Goodwill&#039;s auction site. I had always thought it was some unsigned marble bust that some unknown artist never bothered signing. I always wondered why an artist would not bother to sign their art work? Then last summer I was visiting a historical Long Island cemetery to put on Youtube and I saw a marble bust in a similar style on top of one of the older graves from the 1800&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was always curious why the lady had such a sad expression with her hand leaning up on her forehead, making her look like she was upset or crying about something.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought it because I always wanted a large antique marble bust and couldn&#039;t afford one because some of them could be very expensive. I won this one for $20. It weighs at least 50-70 pounds. When I won it on Goodwill they had to ship it to me. Shipping was much cheaper back then and it only cost me $58 to have it shipped to my house all the way from the West Coast. I can only imagine how expensive shipping something like this would be now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know if this is a grave marker or some kind of cemetery art?</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be just my luck that I would be stupid enough to buy an antique grave marker or part of a tombstone thinking it was a regular artwork. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If it is, I will be creeped out because it has been sitting on the ledge of my fireplace for all these years, lol. Jokingly, I already told my family I want it on my grave when I kick the bucket, lol. I think I bought my own grave marker ahead of time unknowingly. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]251738[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]251739[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]251740[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
