Hey guys, I'm new here, but I enjoy lurking and viewing all the treasures I've seen. I picked this up at a thrift shop not long ago. It has no markings, and I was told it came from donated things from an estate sale. She's small, the actual bust is about four inches, and with base and pedestal she stands about 7 1/2 inches. The bust part is heavy maybe made out of some sort of stone, the rod is metal, and she is mounted on a wooden base. She's kinda creepy and weird but I couldn't leave her behind, actually I did, but went back the next day to get her.
Thank you aghcollect!! I really hope someone knows something about her.
First off I would like to hold her to look more close at her . She appears to be a old shoulder head doll but I need to see side view of her to see if they filled in side also . IF she was a old doll head her lips have been repainted or she was made to replicate a old doll and was made to look worn . Her face could it be tin or is it more soft like paper mache the weight could come from what she was filled in with . A side veiw ok and I will watc for it :-) She may have been modified to base which is not that old .
Thank you so much for commenting, and your willingness to investigate further!! Much appreciated! I took her out into the sunlight, and she might be tin, looking at places where the paint has come off, it seems to be kinda shiny looking. I'll will post a side shot of her arm and shoulder area when I get a little more charge on my camera battery, but I can say after closer inspection that area is not as smooth as the rest of her.
Kinda creepy cool, right?! She looks like Queen Elizabeth to me :) Welcome to the CW.
Thank YOU, and yes definitely creepy cool. My daughter says that one day I'm going to bring something home that's cursed, we'll see...:) I thought she looked like Queen Elizabeth too.
I'm voting creepy too. Sorry but welcome to CW! Looking forward to more. I laughed out loud at your daughters comment. Too funny
Without holding her I would say she is a decorative item made to look old . I wish I could tell you more but she appears to be a artists creation and not antique .
Awww, thank you Manikin for taking the time to look at it, and thank you AmberRose for the comment, I'm always on the lookout for creepy!
love love love her!! :)
