    Hello again good people,

    My family laughed at me when I bought this :sorry::sorry::sorry: I would like to prove them wrong :bucktooth::bucktooth::bucktooth:

    Someone mentioned to me Jugendstil when they saw it...I was thinking French, Holland or mcm Italy...and it is going to be something very cheap from India :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious: ofc

    Dimension are: 25.5cm[10in] x 18cm[7in] x 16cm[6.2in] Weights roughly around 5kg [176 ounce] really heavy...also I am unsure about the material...i think it has glass eyes...couldn't find any signatures or anything similar but it is so shiny that it is hard to look :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

    I am listening :bookworm::bookworm::bookworm::blackeye::blackeye::blackeye::bag::bag::bag:

    These pin holes usually point to a resin casting. This one looks as if it was sprayed gold.

    Wonder if it could be considered a piano baby, even though not porcelain?

    Not Jugendstil or anything Art Nouveau related.
    I'm not thinking any of those.:confused: In fact I'm not thinking at all.:bag:
    The surface is very blobby and wrinkly. I won't say what I thought she was holding at first.:muted:
    I don't see glass eyes, isn't she gold all over?

    Ummm, gotta side with your family (so much more frightening than Kyra's rhinocerskink)...

    I have limited knowledge. But I really hope you didn’t pay a lot for this. Looks like something from a gift store (and yes then spray painted) The paint does look probably and thickly applied (maybe that’s a positive)

    LOL, I do not know what to say...well...
    First of all, ofc I ain't right (not Jungedstil...nor French, Holland or Italy) :blackeye::blackeye::blackeye:
    It is gold all over except under it...like on the pics
    I am also unsure about the eyes :bored::woot:
    Thank you for supporting my family :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:
    I am glad that it is scaring you :jawdrop::joyful::jawdrop::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:
    I paid some really symbolic money for it...however I do not agree about the spray paint...it doesn't really look like spray paint...I may have made the light for the photos bad...so it looks that way
    :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious: And NO it is not a stolen alien baby sculpture :blackalien::blackalien::blackalien::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

    Thank you all so much...:shame::happy::happy::happy::shame:

    But nobody truly knows what it is exactly :hungry::hungry::hungry: Loving it :couchpotato::couchpotato::couchpotato:

    From the front pictures the child doesn’t appear to have a neck, the back of the neck anatomy looks a bit odd too.
    I’ve done quite a lot of resin casting and either you paint the inside of the mould with a thin coat of resin which could include a metal powder then you fill the rest of the mould with less expensive bulking stone powder mixed with resin. This gold finish looks painted on after casting, sprayed or brushed on, you just wouldn’t get that high gloss with regular metal powder casting.

    Good or bad, it’s definitely a conversation piece and it gets a reaction. You love it and it’s yours (so you can rightly be happy with it) If you plan on buying more of these then just don’t tell your family about it

    Houseful...I think it does have a neck but it is rather proportional to baby size...I am not familiar with resin, casts or how the paint is applied...I really trust your (all of yours) judgment on this...I am rather and still just confused by it :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

    And YES Boland...I will keep on buying everything I like :happy::happy::happy: as that makes me happy...and also scares my family and some other people...so that is a big plus :):):) and also...the most important part...I HAVE THE GOLDEN CHILD!!! :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

    Indeed you do have the Golden Child and yours is unlikely to be stolen unlike the Grayson Perry version:)

    We can't find a similar one (possible exception the Grayson Perry baby:D), which means it is very rare, and therefore extremely valuable.:smug:
    (Or so some newbies tell us....)

    Golden Creep...I mean Golden Resin Child says hello to you all...with its glass eye it sends its regards...or is it...a glass eye? :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

    It still remains a mystery :bookworm::bookworm::bookworm:

    Maybe the glass eyes were an optional extra. But we will probably never know with such a limited run collectors piece. Ha ha
