    I thought this was Athena but when I looked at other images, she's always wearing a helmet. Any idea who this is suppose to be? Thank you.

    With a quiver fill of arrows on her back and a hunting dog it could be Diana or her Greek counterpart Artemis.

    Thank you. I put to much emphasis on the spear. :rolleyes: I had looked at Diana but moved on when I didn't see the spear.

    Sorry, I usually do put measurements in. It's a piece of antique doll house furniture. 3 1/4" tall and 4" long.

    Thank you. I've been searching the net and haven't found another one like this. It resembles some of the German Biedermeier pieces. I was pleasantly surprised and shocked when I saw the prices. Here is a better view.

    It's lovely. I can hardly imagine what the doll house must have looked like for this piece to have graced it.;)

    I just finished looking at the ten houses. I found myself particularly drawn to the Sara Rothe Dutch house (House #10) and I'm not quite sure why.

    Thank you for posting that link too.

    That was also one of my favorites too. It's opulent but cozy at that same time.
