Just asking because I rescued it from storage and was asking on a collectors site, thought maybe someone here might have some ideas. Age, identity, brass or bronze? Square screws hold the base on. Which I found unusual? Overall height 10"

Didn't look but I know a Robertson screw recess. Used for furniture and decks. Good question, I should have been clearer.

It's a square nut on a stud. Hardly square, almost looks made made. Also made of brass.

Model T was assembled with Roberston screws. More modern the auto people went to Phillips which sometimes I think was a step backwards. Less drive area and they cam out. Some bright engineer (I always think they sit on the pot and think these ideas up while they are bored) decided that a #15 Torx was a good screw for headlights, so we had that mess for a number of years. They rusted in just as badly as Phillips, but could usually be broken loose. Problem is, the average person didn't own a Torx driver and still doesn't!

Allen, Frearson, Tri-Wing, clutch head, Hi-torque, torq-set, pozidrive, ACR-Phillips, I have them all sitting here. (some tamper proof, and with the hole or the pin) I had some five lobe Torx for prison security and some that were used on Propane canister valves. Tool guy stuff. LOL The door hinge plate on a MGB is a #4 PZD!

Anyway, square nut, rough finish, maybe hand made. Thanks for asking, I forgot to be specific.

Thanks, they are classical in some poses. Hmm, the hair crown, headdress I thought might be a tip also. The closest I found was a similar pose and she's holding an apple. Another one a cornucopia. The Aztecs had the fingers like that as a sign of art and culture. (the men in drawings and paintings)

But now that you mention it a lute or harp would fit there nicely? Long gone, this was an unusual acquisition maybe 20 years ago.

Wait with her lower finger like that, I'd say Jazz and she plays the stand up bass.

It's Venus de Milo

I think you're right. The pose is very similar.

They've just restored the arms.

Exact pose and statue, but a joke news story, may not venus de milo. It is La cosiddetta "Venere di Capua", al Museo archeologico nazionale di Napoli.
