A PAIR OF COPELAND PARIAN FIGURES OF RUTH AND REBEKAH after the original models by W. Theed, both standing barefoot with a modest downward gaze, wearing long robes falling in folds and with striped scarves around their heads, Ruth holding sheaves of wheat and with a slender amphora at her side, Rebekah supporting an amphora on the trunk of a palm-tree, on circular bases (Ruth with chip and small firing-crack to base, Rebekah with chip and small firing-cracks to base and lacking right small finger and left index finger), impressed marks, circa 1860
