[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 2839182, member: 80783"]Last week at the flea market I bought this statue which shows a young lady about to distribute wreaths. It is 69 cm high, weights 18,3 Kilograms and is made out of Alabaster and another material (Marble?). I suppose it was created in France or Italy in the early 19th century. The seller could tell me nothing more about it than that the had bought it at an auction in Paris some decades ago. Even though it is slightly damaged, I like it´s classical style and wonder if the lady (probably not meant to be Nike / Victoria, as she has no wings) is about to distribute the wreaths to the winners of some (greek?) games or if she might instead be a personification of something else. [ATTACH=full]671322[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671324[/ATTACH] Are there any experts here who can help me with the attribution? Feel free to post statues or coins with Victories and the like...[/QUOTE]
