The woman is carrying a basket on her head and one in her arm. The statue is numbered 2562 P. According to the Dawson City museum, these statues were sold in the Egyptian pavilion, aptly named A Street in Cairo, at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. The World's Fair, also named the Colombian Exposition, was the biggest of its time.

19th Century French Empire Clock Garniture, Japy Frères et Cie Movement
By L.P. Japy Cie
Located in North Palm Beach, FL
This magnificent three-piece mantel clock garniture exemplifies the height of French Empire Revival design in the 19th century—where classical grandeur, refined materials, and superb craftsmanship converge to create a work of both artistry and precision.
