Long Description
This bronze statue has the name Hip Moreau on the bottom.. It is in perfect shape, but needs to be cleaned due to my mom and dad smoking in the house for 60 years! The statue is of a lady sitting on a stump holding a young child (not sure if girl or boy), who is holding a horn. The lady is only wearing a shear nightgown-looking piece of clothing with straps hanging over her shoulders. There is a flower on the right side on the base of the stump and branches on the left bottom. It is 26" tall and weighs apprx. 30lbs.
History
This piece was passed down from my great-grandfather, who came to the U.S. from Sicily in 1913. Not sure if he brought it with him from the old country. He lived in Chicago, then New Orleans, and finally, Sacramento.
