It looks more like resin. Alabaster and marble have very heavy weight compared to a resin piece. I used to get a lot of the cherub ones and found them in thrift stores. They are usually well cast, but value is fairly little money. They turn up and the size sounds right for the resin models from Italy. Usually they say they are made of marble dust and glue. It is synthetic but a nice cast can be done.
Thx. All info appreciated for this "novice" collector.
Appreciate any input or assesments from anyone out there.
P.S.
Tried to rotate this pic. every which way from my gallery & ??
