So far I've found a number of "lovely ladies" -- statues of women that are all, most likely, part of other things.
The first is Athena in triplicate, part of a gas light set. I'm not quite sure yet how all the pieces fit together. It's a project for whoever buys it.

The next is a small statue of a Greek figure, perhaps Aphrodite after being given the golden apple by Paris.
 |
A classic Greco-Roman style figure, holding an apple in one hand. |
 |
There are screw holes and two screws in the base of the statue. I don't yet know if whatever it was she stood on is here. It might be. |
The next two ladies seem like the sort of sculptures you'd find on a mantle clock. Again, I have not yet matched them up to anything else.
 |
This piece seems fairly complete at first: sculptural figure on a base. |
 |
From this view, it's clear that she was meant to be holding something. There was nothing else in the box in which she was packed. |
 |
Whatever she was holding, she was certainly staring intently at it! |
The fourth lady is the goat girl, as I call her. She's my favorite.
 |
The newspaper she was wrapped in gives you a sense of scale. The details are exquisite, far better than what you would find on the average figural clock sculpture. Perhaps she goes with something else, or perhaps she is a stand-alone art object. |
