[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 356935, member: 5833"]Bronwen has no idea who she is. Not religious, classical mythology, possibly allegorical, the personification of something. Her head wear, & maybe the fleur de lis above her are meant to tell us something, but...? Certainly not Joan of Arc! Looks like a mashup of imagery, so not sure what to credit as having meaning. She is quite modern. The sensibility is sort of Italian, more likely a Chinese idea of Italian. The flat plaque & the molded decorations were made separately, with the decorations then having to be applied. Not surprising there is a difference in color & application not completely symmetrical.[/QUOTE]
