Her face is quite nice, but the ivory has cracked vertically w the natural seams are. The second figure has her hair pulled back in a bun at the nape of her neck and is wearing a high collared plain dress. Her face is also very detailed and she really resembles the Virgin Mary.

T is some residue around the faces, so I don't know if this was from the original production or repair. Both figures are signed on the back and sit on hollow rectangular bases. We are not sure what exactly these were meant to be (other than a decorative Art Nouveau figure) so if you have more information, please let me know. These pieces are at least 100 years old and would seem to satisfy read more
