    I also have one of these statuse Mikeigotit posted about. I don't know that mine is cement, might be ciment fondue since that is mixed with metals. This was my grandmother's and I remember this as a child I am 52 and my grandmother died 10 years ago at 97 years old. So, this thing is antique. I was looking closely at it to see if it has a makers mark and it was kind of creepy. I was using my cell ccamera on zoom so it was maginified a good bit. But I noticed all these little marks, and designs and faces in his carvings. Does anyone know of an artist that does this or did this? You will see in picture 3 a symbol that could be part of an artist mark and then in picture 4 I see a monkey face and if you look close you will see some things that look like a ring and skeleton? maybe I am just crazy haha there are more pictures too. tell me what you think and any information you have on it I would love to know. Thanks

      Have you considered that it might be chalkware?
