Georges Coste Deco Bronze Sculpture Find?

I came across this statue (just over 13 in tall) and knew it was special. The materials used, verdigris and dust accumulation suggest it is not new and the casting is simply gorgeous. Despite the fact that I have seen similar etched Coste signatures does not convince me it is true or some reproduction (signed but not numbered), the style is similar and remarkable, and I feel fortunate to have found such an inspirational piece. I apologize if the pics are not oriented properly; I cannot seem to resolve this issue.
