    Handcrafted sculpture by A. Santina
    I have acquired a sculpture that is signed A. Santini. It is a nude of a male and female kissing. It is white and quite heavy and feels like marble. Does anyone know what it could be made of? Also any idea of the value.

    According to one site they are made in italy from bonded carrera marble and alabaster and are hand-finished. It doesn't have an example of that piece, though.

    Someone is selling that statue on eBay for $40.
