This piece is made in the Rococo style (Rococo is a style of 18th century French art and interior design.)
The torso is made from a real bird skull and apoxie sculpt.
Her hair is high quality English viscose and is highly decorated, in the late Rococo style, with sails, roses, leaves, feathers, and pearls.
Her jacket is made from Thai brocade and white lace.
The base is also handmade and decorated with altered miniture ornaments and apoxie sculpt.
The back of the base is decorated with gold leaf.
