Featured Metal Goddess sitting on Books holding a sphere looks Greek Help ID

She is 12" tall with the base and has a 9 1/2" width

She looks like a Greek Goddess to me. I can not find her anywhere and there seems to be something missing that was in her hand. Who is she and where was she made. I thing the material is spelter.
Thanks

 

sitting on stool...next to books...... just..y'know.. to be clear ..

 

The Muse Urania, I do believe. She my have been holding a pointer.

 

She's very lovely. Nice piece to own.

 

Good one Bronwen!

 

LOVE IT !!! ... REALLY LOVE IT !!! ... Joy.

 

Here's looking at you, kid:

 

I LOVE that too !! .. Egads I'm "loving" today .. Joy.

 

It's what the world needs now...

 

Truely " What the world needs now is more love sweet love, it the only thing there is too little of"

Bronwen you have proved once again you are The Muse of Greek Mythology and many many subjects, and like Urania blessed and over flowing with knowledge.
Thanks again and again and again for sharing your knowledge.

I'm sure I've posted this one before. Surprised you didn't recognize her:

 

Can't breath.....oh my......that's......oh, I really am speechless

 

That's OK - she's got lungs enough for 2, or more.

 

Not at all a coincidence. Watching the motion of celestial bodies & time keeping are intimately connected.

 

She is outstandingly bad. I almost daren't ask if you actually own her or do you just have a stack of images of shockingly bad cameos to counter your stunners?.

Edit- in the interests of educating the younger generation about art I showed my daughter your stunning cameo @Bronwen and the statue in the OP.She was very appreciative of both. I then showed her your not so stunning cameo. She too was speechless, all I got was
'what......oh my.......is that?!. Truly comical reaction.
