In classical mythology, Artemis (in Greek mythology) or Diana (in Roman mythology) is the goddess of hunting, the wilderness, wild animals and childbirth. She is the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo.
Artemis is often depicted carrying a bow and arrows, or, as in this interpretation, accompanied by a fawn, deer being sacred to her.
This Lalique design dates to c1950, and we believe it to be the work of Marc Lalique (Rene Lalique's son).
The figurine measures approximately 11.5cm tall. She kneels on a 5cm diameter base. "Lalique France" is etched to the base, making this a quite early example.
The figurine is in very condition. There are no chips cracks or repairs, and only minimal age-related wear to the base. Please note however, there are some bubble inclusions and folds within the glass from the original manufacture.
There is no box.
