Description

This appears to be hand carved in possibly marble or marble alabaster, it's not smooth to the touch as much as the ones that feel like ivory, or like fine china but then not rough either. I have no idea what the piece is called and have drawn a blank on all searches. Their facial expressions seem to be looking at or towards something in terror or fear. Could it be a one off? The label states 'sculptor A Santini' and the label I believe is from the Santini studio in Italy. The piece has developed a cream/ivory patina so probably does have some age to it. The only markings on it are the signature of A Santini and the letters DEP - with no number after it. Does the piece have any value? And what is the piece called?
