She's stunning.

She is. I always wondered what her arms were doing. In light of elisem's last post, I'd like to imagine her flipping the bird. :)

They're almost certain she's either holding a comb and mirror, or an apple - those are the two standard period poses, as far as we've been able to reconstruct. :)

The scale is stunning, too.

I can't post pictures, but here is my favourite Renaissance angel, a Della Robbia:

I don't know what he's thinking, but he's much more alive than any other I've seen.

Why did only the arms get knocked off when everything else remained intact? I know, probably because they were where the stone was the thinnest.
