Featured Small marble bust, what age and anything interesting?

Hi all! I picked up this sweet marble/alabaster(?) sculpture recently, hoping that it would be signed but unfortunately I can't see anything. I was wondering what age could it be and is it anything interesting or a more modern, generic decorative bust? It has a few chunks out of it. It is 9.5"H x 4.5"W Thanks for any info

 

A beauty Elen.

 

Thank you! I thought so too.

 

Sweet! Something about her hairstyle speaks to early 20th C...to me, anyway. Such a placid, relaxed face on that child, so well captured...a keeper, I'm thinking.

 

Yes, I see what you mean about early 20th century! I wish it was signed

 

@Elen Beattie, sorry I didn't have time to mark what "possibly" looked like a couple of marks on your lovely bust!! I circled and tried to enhance a bit what I "think" I saw inside the circles.....faint but worth checking out....IN the TOP image, the circle looked like maybe a line of tiny letters in that curl, and the oval looked like maybe two larger letters.....BOTTOM image I might have circled the same area as the oval in the top image....she's really quite sweet!!

​

 

Yeah...a signature would be icing onna cake...but only incidentally significant if she will be kept an' displayed, as she deserves. What a beautiful child!

 

Yes, I bought to resell but am keeping her after all

 

Thanks for looking, but those are just areas of wear. It's also still a little dusty!

 

Champion! Good for Both of you!

 

The base is marble but I think the bust is something else. Alabaster maybe. It's quite lovely and I can see why you want to keep her!

 

Thank you! Yes I was thinking maybe Alabaster
