She is carrying a baby doll, a Faberge-like egg, and there is a dainty little bow in her tussle of hair, barefoot and smiling. Hand cast and gold gilt. She stands upon a base with a wonderful laurel trim. This lovely figurine is perfect for a desk, a bookshelf, or a table. Pilet wanted to capture a tender memory in his daughter's life. Makes a nice gift for someone that has a daughter and those that have fond memories of childhood. H= 12 in. W= 4.5 in. D= 5 in. 10 lbs. less
