Curious, Colorful, Polymer (Presumed Slag) Clay Figure tawny looking almost as if coated

looking almost as if coated in tar and with the salvaged core peeking out here and there

with nice aging to the paint and scattered scuffs and wear attesting to its use

with the bodice style indicating 1920s or so I believe

like a nod to a grecian urn

Curious, Colorful, Polymer (Presumed Slag) Clay Figure tawny looking almost as if coatedThis one! I think she is quite fantastic looking, and definitely a colorful character in more ways than one! I purchased her from a dealer who got her in a mixed lot of things years ago and had no idea of her origins; I don't either, but definitely she was sculpted of polymer clay, of the sort that trade beads are made of, and I might guess that she was an end of day whimsy of sorts, made with the slag, and then given beads for eyes and a pink mouth.
