This Lenci Deco Nude with purple hair and purple cactus is 13-1/4" high. Notice that there is a pale yellow flower on the cactus. vI believe that the armless state of the figurine is a reference to the Venus de Milo. The mark on the bottom includes the initials of the artist LR, whom I have not yet identified. I believe that this is a rare figure, since I have not come across any other examples in my research. This piece comes out of a long time collection and is in excellent condition, no dings, cracks, crazing, flea bites or other damage. She dates to about the 1930's, the height of the Art Deco period.
