This has been in my family for decades. Back in the 1960s my mother was having some work done by a local photographer and she saw this statue in his studio. She came home and told my dad about it. The following Christmas - there it was under the tree. He had bought it from the photographer and given it to her, but he would never tell her how much he had to pay for it. Now he's gone and I'll never know, either. The hollow figure is made from a non-magnetic metal and has a spike on the bottom which fits into a hole in the two-colored marble base. I can't find any markings on it, and to give you an idea of its size, it's 19" from wingtip to wingtip and weighs about 10 pounds (without the base). It has a ring on the back and a red-colored "stone" on the armband. Almost everyone that comes in the house comments on it and a few people have offered to buy it, but the most I've been offered is $200. I feel it's may be worth more than that. Any comments appreciated. Thank you.
