Main photo of vintage bronze Bedouin girl seen from the front side of her reclining position. She is lying on a striped rug shaped base of one plain dark grey colour with head resting on one raised arm and the other arm crossed in front of her. She has a dreamy look on her face. There are missing flakes of paint throughout which makes it look as though she has been playing in the dirt - this does add extra charm to this lovely piece. Add to basket
