Title: I have a question about two very old Japanese Statues
Post by: b-bottom on July 15, 2008, 02:02:21 PM

I am posting this because I am trying to find out about two  (I'm guessing) Plaster statues that I had received from my grandmother. Neither have any markings on them and I can only guess that they are from the 1950's. Any help I get on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
