Marble Bust of Flapper

By mar252011, 23 March, 2012
Description

Beautiful and unusual marble bust of 1920s female (flapper) on base. Two separate pieces. Some wear on piece with most notable on back of head; chips on base. Has not been cleaned.

I don't know when or where this was purchased. It was in my Grandmother's house and my family is from Italy.  I have not been able to find anything that even closely resembles it, so any comments regarding its history and approximate value would be much appreciated.
