Anyone know much about this?

**dilly** — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 07:56:08 GMT

Found this in a garage sale last week on the peninsula, it's so heavy, has 1O/12 written on the side and a name Barbara tribe, it cost me $60 but I really liked it

Any info would be appreciated

Hi miss dilly, long time no see. 🙂

It's very expressive and reminds me of Rodin.

Guessing the 10/12 is number 10 cast out of only 12.

Found this with lovers 1, so maybe several different lovers were done.

That is one of the best garage sale finds EVER! Just stunning. Have a look at this auction if you were thinking you paid too much for it! Well done 🙂

I think the number 10/12 signifies this is number 10 of a series of 12 "Lovers" sculptures. I found another page with different figures numbered 1/12 and 8/12 etc. I don't think it is the number cast, as all 3 photos I have found of 10/12 have slight differences, eg grain on the wood on the bases, some degree of oxidation of the bronze etc. I think this one is number 10 in a series of 12.
