Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Enamel, glass, and topaz hair ornament and brooch by Lalique, 1900; in the Victoria and Albert … (credit: Courtesy of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London)(born April 6, 1860, Ay, Fr.-died May 5, 1945, Paris) French jeweler and glassmaker. Trained in Paris and London, he opened his own firm in Paris in 1885 and soon acquired clients such as Sarah Bernhardt. Reacting against machine-produced jewelry featuring precious gems, he designed elegant and fantastic jewelry with less conventional gemstones (tourmaline, cornelian, etc.) and materials such as horn. His designs contributed significantly to the Art Nouveau movement and later the Art Deco movement. His interest in architectural glass led him to develop the style of molded glass for which he is famous, characterized by iced surfaces, elaborate patterns in relief, and occasionally applied or inlaid colour.

Now how directly the HELL did you find that?!
I'm serious. I HAVE TO KNOW!! :brick:
HEAR ME ROAR!
sigpic Thanks to Freyaka for the great sig!
Ah, WhoDey...debating with you has sharpened my mind.
I love research. I can find anything. *evil laugh*
In answer to your question, just a little bit of internet research and the
right keywords, and the determination not to give up...
it was a "defining" moment. *2nd evil laugh*

I'm not too excited yet, AZ still needs to let us know if he thinks this is the correct information!

AZ, are there any markings at all on the bottom perhaps?
--- Yes, there are markings on the edge of the base of the sculpture ---
--- At first I thought that they were just scratches, but after HW identified the artist, I could finally make out "Lalique France" engraved in script on the bottom of the base ---
--- Every time that I came back from overseas, I brought a statue for my Mom, usually the Mother and Child ---
--- After awhile my Mom had a small collection from diverse cultural origins ---
--- One was intricately hand carved by a German artist out of wood from the Black Forest ---
--- Another was very simple and modest, yet breathtaking, carved out of tropical hardwood from the Amazon Basin ---
--- Finally, when I returned from abroad yet another time, she said " Please, no more ! --- I have enough already !" ---
--- So ever since then I stopped bringing those sculptures to her ---
--- My Mom passed on a few years ago, and now I have all of them !
--- Thanks again HW !!! --- Maybe you'd like to work on the identity of the artist that carved the German piece --- I don't have a clue, but it is awesome ! ---

Sorry to hear about your mom passing, AZ.
Re the Black Forest carving of madonna and child...first all bavarian carvings are made by the Swiss (it's a common misconception). Later on, I'll back up everything I'm relaying here. First, will you look at these next two pictures and let me know if they match your figurine? I'll hold off looking further until you say yeah or neigh. Then that will be my starting point for the history of the artwork.
I believe there is also a figurine called the Black Madonna and Child....but I am not sure that is not South African Artwork...I think it's Bavarian Black Forest art. Easy enough to figure out.
A picture takes me to a whole other place though!
AZ---The Black Forest would also make a good thread! Have you seen that Hi-Jacker, KCLady, around?
