VINTAGE A. SANTINI THE BATHER ITALIAN SCULPTURE STATUARY ''VENUS'' 14 1/2

Original, vintage, signed, A.Santini bonded marble VENUS sculpture.

The statue is made of a mix of crushed marble (Carrera) and resin, cast, then finished by hand. No chips, cracks, or repairs. Not sure of the exact year of production on this sculpture. I purchased this in Florence Italy at a year sale in 1995. The sellers were older and moving so do not know age.
