<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gatoblanconz, post: 9565605, member: 14927&quot;]I have this little Catholic bust.</p><p>The seller said it was alabaster but this is available in lots of other advertisements and it is either being called wax or chalkware wax.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a bit confused it certainly feels very smooth and waxy and when I scratch the bottom it scratches very easily with just a blunt finger nail.</p><p>But it has a circular plug in the bottom which is definitely wax that&#039;s like wax out of a paraffin candle but that is very soft and is quite different to the rest of the statue.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is signed CH Maillard.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have taken a photo of it next to a statue that I know is alabaster.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seems to me unlikely that there would be a lot of versions in wax and then an &quot;alabaster&quot; version that looks exactly the same. I did message the seller when it was in transit and said can they confirm it is alabaster given there are other materials looking exactly the same in this item and they said yes it is definitely alabaster.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do people think because I need to seek a refund if it is wax because was much more expensive than the ones that are being sold as wax.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine is 16 cm high there are some shorter versions around</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]458670[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]458671[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]458672[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]458674[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]458676[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]458677[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]458679[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]458680[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]458683[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]458685[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
