A little bronze figure with a sense of humour. This lady, in her tight corset dress complete with bustle at the rear, has one hand on her hip while she holds a riding crop in the other.
Just to complete the somewhat bizarre image, she is standing on a tortoise which is looking up and back at her.
Quite what this assertive young lady is about to do next we'll leave to the imagination... She's certainly a strong character and the detail in the casting is lovely.
Unmarked but almost certainly Austrian or German and dating from the very early 1900's. The height is 14.5 cm.
