A substantial classical Venus de Milo figure with beautiful carved detail and a soft ivory-white finish. At 14" tall, she has enough presence to stand beautifully on her own while her narrow footprint makes her especially easy to incorporate into a shelf or collected display.
She was sold to me as alabaster. While I have not independently verified the material, she is quite heavy and cool to the touch with the look and feel of natural stone.
