<p>[QUOTE="Steve Shubinski, post: 2381902, member: 15688"]I have never seen anything like this. It is a woman's head, made from porcelain as far as I can tell, and she is arrayed magnificently with a hat and gown. It looks like the material is all silk. The woman's eyes and lips are hand painted and it looks like there is natural hair wrapped under the hat. The head is mounted on a silk wrapped thin board lined with little stones. The detail is beautiful. It looks to be Victorian and is in wonderful condition. It is 3 1/4" long by 1 3/4" wide. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
