England or Low Countries
19th century
Carved female bust, displaying traditional costume (lace headdress and shirred collar), most likely representing a woman from Sweden, Norway or Denmark. Before the era of photography, pieces like this would have been carved as an homage to grandparents, etc. There is a signature carved onto the flat surface of her left shoulder (see detail shot), but it seems to be indistinguishable.
