With an incised signature to the reverse of the figure. Height 66cm, width 38cm, depth 43cm *This figure was exhibited at the Dorset County Museum in 1976, it was purchased from an auction in 1994, and the buyers wrote to the artist who confirmed that this and another figure they purchased were by her (see copy of a letter). In the letter she states it's possibly made in course Bathstone. *Artists Resale Rights applies to this lot.
The figure is weathered (see images), chip to the foot, the top of the instrument has lost some of the surface and there are a few areas with similar surface loss. Small chips around the base in places, general wear and marks as you would expect with outside use.
