This figurine was certified on 9th April 1959 by Alfredo and Giovanni Paoli. Although the original design image was of a white figurine, it is likely that it was painted or lacquered black before being sold.

I have not been able to find any examples of this on the web, but if you have this piece, I would be really interested to know how she was painted.
