    Hi everyone,
    I'd like to identify and date this pretty upsetting lady,
    since frontally she looks like a quiet person and hides -----> a sword behind her?
    Ahhhhhhh an assassin !!!
    Height about 25 cm
    I think that it's ceramic
    on the back there is a 2343 numbering and horizontal lines, but I do not think they are the symbol of a manufacture
    Thank you all :)

    It looks like a parasol to me.;)

    Just imagine this minus horse's head, but with bow:

    So not an assassin lady, but a lady who is ready to guard her fair complexion against the sun.:cool:

    Ahhhhhhhh LOL ok ok thanks ah ah :)
    Particular its positioning, put behind to hide it from the back;
    maybe that's what deceived me ;-)
    Ok we check if it's possible id and date her by the costume and the style .

    I just attached another picture, of a lady with a closed parasol.
    She is just being a bit flirty, playing with her parasol.
    The date of the costume may not be the date of manufacture, but I'll leave that up to those who know more about European porcelain.

    You're ironic, are not you?
    Just for fun I guess.
    That's nice.

    The numbers and styling look German to me.
    Agree with AJ, that's a parasol.

    I'd guess early 1900s.

    Thanks this sounds very interesting :) From your point of view, the woman and her dress, at what period do they refer?

    I'd guess around 1900, give or take a decade.

    The assassin theory sounds good to me.

    Thank you all :)

    from your point of view, that "21" at least so it seems to be, could it be what remains of a deleted backstamp? Even because ... I was thinking that there is already another number on the back "2343"

    Multiple numbers are not uncommon. One may indicate the decoration code and another could be the mold. There just was no common numbering system in use. Just for the record I believe a talented and determined woman could commit an assassination using only her parasol.
