Antique Questions Forum / Martha by the well???

« on: September 06, 2005, 09:34:38 am »

My Grandmother has a small bronze statue (about 9 inches tall) of a Greek based female wearing a toga and the sandals footwear with a book in hand.  She is leaning on a pedestal and the pedestal is wrapped with a vine and has a dove like bird sitting in the vine.  Also on the bottom there are a few letters a "P   I   P" and the numbers "855/6."  She says that her mother always referred to it as "Martha by the well."  We were just wondering if anyone knew anything about this statue, any reply would be helpful.
