Carved Marble Alter with Mirror and Praying Bisque Figures in Niches ladies leg horseshoe he attended the Knapp SchoolI'm not entirely sure what to make of this one, but I love it a carved marble, tabletop scale sort of shrine or alter, with mirror atop and bisque figures populating its niches, all of them praying.
