<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9462772, member: 76316"]This was in an antique mall in my town for over a year, an' maybe as much as a couple of years...30 or so years ago. I watched it regularly for all that time but wouldn't spring for the $75 price. Eventually, I offered $50 for it...an' was allowed to take her home with me! She has been a constant presence on one corner of my dresser ever since, an' my fondness has only grown over all these years. I do not pretend to understand her message...'tho I have spent a goodly number of hours in contemplation, seeking an enlightenment that still eludes.</p><p><br /></p><p>She's about 11" tall, an' weighs over 12lbs; it is ~3 3/4" between her ear tips, an' her almond eyes are ~3/4" wide. She's highly polished everywhere save the base, which shows a crystalline structure...I don't know enough about stone to be sure, but Alabaster comes to mind. It has gray 'spots' in it that barely show.</p><p><br /></p><p>The signature (pic 8) appears to be a backwards capital E, with the central stroke consisting of a left-pointing arrow that extends farther to the right beyond the vertical stroke.</p><p><br /></p><p>I present her as much for your delight as for your comments an' suggestions about that what you see, an' feel...as well as about that signature.

Thanks for lookin'!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]440485[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440486[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440487[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440488[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440489[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440490[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440491[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440494[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440495[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440496[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
