A winsome and charming Country French accent is quite sassy and bold, truly a one of a kind in workmanship and size. Much detail as shown, from her decolette to her tiny waist and full skirts. Wonderful as she is, or try her with tiny live moss, or candies in her baskets. The statue is signed with numerous marks. Will try to decipher and add.   « Less
