    It reminds me of a Jeff Koons piece.

    I haven’t responded yet because I can’t offer a positive identification. I have my suspicions but I need to do more research and one of my critical reference books is missing.What I can tell you is that this figurine is a work of art. This piece was not made in a mold. It was not mass produced. It was made of terracotta clay and then painted, gilded and glazed. This process is true to the early works of the Batignani family. Very few ceramicists worked with terracotta. It does not lend itself to mass production techniques and cannot be used in conjunction with modern machinery.
    I don’t know if I can resolve the question of the signature but the piece is beautiful and worthy of being noticed.
