Lot 286: A Weathered Cast Stone Garden Statue of a Maiden Water Bearer
A weathered cast stone garden ornament depicting a female figure, possibly a water bearer, in a stooped posture holding a bucket or vessel to her side. The sculpture is rendered in a traditional figurative style and is supported by an integrated circular stone base. A handwritten paper label is attached to the figure’s shoulder reading: Lady And bucket / water teacher / RES £20 / 6613. The item exhibits significant weathering consistent with prolonged outdoor exposure, characterized by extensive green moss and lichen growth, surface pitting, and general erosion of fine detail. No artist signatures or manufacturer’s marks are visible on the piece.
Dimensions: Height, width, and depth not measured.
