<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 827861, member: 37"]I see a mold seam on the arm so doubt this is carved stone. Maybe some kind of faux marble composite? Also see a crack at the neck so think head was broken off and reattached at some point. I guess I would selectively strip some of this to see exactly what you have. Don't think a commercial stripper would hurt this at this point but you might just try a little hot water, soap, and elbow grease first. If latex, it might just peel off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
