[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 271367, member: 55"]You could be right about it having a wood part. It reminds me a whole lot of several church-shaped objects my wife got from a going-out-of-business sale at a Christmas décor shop. About 18" tall, they are white-painted with the underlying material showing through in spots. There are casting lines, but also some attached metal and wood parts. They are quite heavy for their size. The shop had a number of high-end items, more like the things you'd see in store displays than for home use. We've never been able to figure out exactly what they are made from. Our best guess is some type of resin; they show a great amount of detail, but would have to have been cast in multiple pieces and then assembled. Nothing looks obviously glued-on however. (I can't add pictures unless we unpack all our Christmas stuff, though)[/QUOTE]
