Mysterious Balerina Statue

hey guys,this one was already being part of my collections for years,but i still don't know anything about this statue,the maker or style,the one that i know from the past owner is this statue came from 1930-1940s but i'm not sure could it be older than that?oh and also she has broken legs but its glued. any information guys?thank you

 

They are gonna need a picture or two

 

Not that I can help, but a picture might help others.

 

sorry i miss the pictures,lol

 

Cute. Can you show us the underneath. It may help.
cheers

She does not appear to be a ballerina, nor any other kind of dancer. Wish I could offer some terms that might help in a search. Other than barefoot...? Are her hands intact?

 

here's the base

 

yeah,it seems mysterious right,hoho...yes her hands is intact,also i think this is was made from brass,the body inside is hollow

 

oh and also the base under the feet doesn't look symetric,is this kind of older statue style production?i dont know

 

I asked because, although her posture and dress do not indicate she dances, her hands were not placed in that way randomly. I see it as a gesture of caution: right hand says, Hold on a minute; left, with the raised finger, says, Think about this...

Cast brass seems quite likely. I have no expertise in the area of manufacturing techniques.

 

hmm..yes,at the first i got this,i notice her gesture should be symbol of something

 

Might be 30-40 years old but doubt from the 30s-40s. Don't see the quality I would expect to see from that era. Modeling and casting is pretty crude. Face looks like it was drawn in with a stylus.

 

She doesn't look like a ballerina. Could there have been something in her right hand?

S Wolf mentioned her legs had been broken but they were glued. Surely that would be difficult with brass? Maybe a ceramic with a bronze-like finish?

 

oh sorry,actually it was welded first after it,it was added glue,i admit it was poor repaired

 

i agree the face was ugly

 

Poor girl has had a hard life.

 

She danced so hard, her shoes came off and she broke her ankles. When her partner left her on the floor in embarrassment, she called after him........wait.....just one more dance?
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

 

happy thanksgiving!!

 

I think she held something in her paws.
