Boy and girl figurines on top of clock

The following collages show a pair of spelter figurines on top of a clock, with the
lady's arm broken off completely.

The break was reinforced on the inside with a zinc plated steel rod, the break was soldered
and sculpted to remove distortions in the metal caused by the damage and then patinated
to match the rest of the piece.   Specially formulated wax with binders and UV inhibitors was
applied to help preserve and enhance the beauty of the figurines.
