<p>[QUOTE="Kevolee, post: 4502197, member: 2594"]Thanks everyone, I guess I'm as confused as when I started. I'm leaning to newer and I rubbed on what I though was clay on the bottom of the head insert and it came off and it is indeed plastic. Tapping on the head itself it sounds hollow so I am guessing molded. I have to admit the "aging" technique the used is very good. It is a different kind of plastic that I know I have seen somewhere but cant quite place. I don't think it applies here, but "translucent" comes to mind. I found a very similar one on a sale site that was being used to display a necklace, but it was a head and bust without the form. That sale had ended and I sent a message to the person I think had the listing but haven't heard back. Thanks for the ideas and the info on other items in the same vein.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
