What I know about this work is that it’s possible to represent Leonardo da Vinci’s mother.

Those many themes which are thoroughly realized and which are made in Leonardo’s characteristic style, analyzed lead to the personal Leonardian symbolist.
It looks very much alike the sketches for St. Ana by Leonardo.
This marble bust it’s in my family possession more than 100 years.

Its dimensions are: height: 50 cm, lenght= 55cm, weight = approx. 60kg.
The designs on the sculpture which are scratches from carving looks at a first look like Egyptian faces. Thus these Egyptian faces, if you are looking at them from different angles and depends the light how it falls on the sculpture, transform into lots of other symbols and faces.
