Thank you! She passed in 2014 at 94 years old and was a very vocal dissident against Putin. She also dyed her hair fire engine red with henna and didn’t give two shits about what people thought of her. She was a very loving grandma, and I was lucky to have her.

Thank you! It’s my most prized possession because of sentimental value, but it is also objectively beautiful.

Ofc, now that I've shown this to a certain key someone in my life, I'm semi on the hook to track one down or make it myself 😂🤌🏼

This person found the original sculptor - maybe you can look on eBay and such?

Thank you!
It has the Russian letter F (“Ф”), which stand for “farfor” or porcelain. I am not sure what the other one says, but it’s probably the manufacturer.
