The 'hat' suggests that she had a purpose. Title: Re: The Flower Seller. Post by: hotmill on November 20, 2014, 06:17:05 AM Nice finds Doug!

Is it plain or same design on both sides. The 'hat' suggests that she had a purpose. Looking at the shape and angle of the flat above the hat, it may have been fixed butted perpendicular to its missing fixing. Title: Re: The Flower Seller.

I have to assume the 'lady' would have been suspended from the loop on her head, for what reason I have no idea. Title: Re: The Flower Seller.

No fixings on the back, the 'lady' is of a hollow construcion. |
