    This Figurine has been in my family's possession for a very long time. I believe that it is dated around the 1920's.
    The Figurine measures approximately 615mm in height.
    The Title is believed to be: 'SONG' - which is inscribed on the Base of the Figurine.
    The only other detail that I have is:
    It would appear to be the work of F. Bastiani, and I believe the Registration number is 808946 and on the back of the Base is inscribed '4A'.
    The arm looks to have been broken sometime ago and very badly repaired.
    The material that it is made of appears to be quite soft - possibly plaster / alabaster?

    If anyone does have any information on this Figurine I would be very grateful,

    Thank you.

      Is it possibly plaster ? Alabaster is not that soft. I see a break ? It is more art nouveau looking, than deco, so possibly earlier 1910-20.

      Hi Phil, thank you for your response.
      I am aware that the arm would appear to maybe broken off at some time ago, but very badly repaired.
