Mermaid Lady Face Wall Hanging

Collectibles : Decorative Arts

 

Perfect for that room with a seaside motif! Composed of some sort of ceramic or clay, this one was a charming flea-market find. I am assuming the lady is a mermaid as lots of seashells adorn her pretty blonde locks. Measuring in at approx. 8 1/4" long x 5 1/2" wide, this piece would seem to have a bit of age to it as there is some dust--which could easily be cleaned away--in the creases. Please be advised her skintone is more suntanned than the way it photographed. This mermaid was obviously handmade and hand painted (The eyes in particular are artfully done.) and is basically in excellent vintage condition. However, please be advise there are a few tiny speckles in her forehead which probably happened at the time of her creation, and there is a small round hole on the right side.. Additionally, there is one small chip, about one-fourth of an inch long, at the very side of her head (adjacent to the top seashell on the right-hand side) which is right on the rim, so I genuinely do not feel this slight imperfection will show when this piece is hung.
