A fine early Austrian Statue.

It depicts a typical Orientalist scene of a Nubian water carrier with long dark hair.

The Moorish woman wears her local attire, some red jewelry, showing a bear breast and carries valuable water in a ceramic jug on her shoulder.

 

The statue is relatively heavy even though the metal is not bronze.
