[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 1420382, member: 3974"]The things that show up in my local thrift sometimes...my second stone carving in as many days - but this one I think is European perhaps. This lovely marble lady is 12" (30cm) tall including the base. The statue appears to be glued to the base sections as there is not a bolt or hardware holding them together. She is carved fairly well - not particularly detailed, but competently enough to be pleasing to the eye. She has a few little flea bite dings here and there - the largest of which is unfortunately on her hair towards the front - but not terribly noticeable. My main question is - where and when was she made? Appears to me to have at least a bit of age. Early 20th souvenir type carving? Or perhaps a bit earlier in the Victorian era? Or I'm way off base? Thanks for taking the time to look!
