Alabaster cherub

This is a bit of architectural salvage rescued (with permission) from builders rubble in the 1960s. It was part of an alter in a UK cathedral, destroyed in the process of the interior being remodelled. These days it would probably have some kind of statutory protection as a part of our architectural heritage. It has clearly been exposed to the elements for quite a long time, not good for alabaster.
