    Degas’s Sculpture I found this link below I really don't understand if this is an original or who signed the base, about 13.5"tall .....see photos

    Who signed the base?
    Is this an original?
    Could this be a rare piece. (it doesn't feel heavy enough to be bronze)

    Any help would be great...

    Thank you.

      No idea but she is a lovely Degas sculpture.
      Is this a mixed media piece too Mike?
      Bit hard to tell what the dress and ribbon are made from by the photos.

      I am affaid this is a copy. The original, titled "Little Dancer of Fourteen Years" has a much more detailed casting. You can check it here:

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Dancer_of_Fourteen_Years

      The Sao Paulo Art Museum has one of the 28 copies casted from a Degas original mold, after his death. It is dressed with an old, almost decomposed tutu.
