We rescued this charming 'Bashful Betty' sculpture from a private estate in the historic Garden District, where she had stood watch for decades.

Years of exposure to the humid Gulf Coast air have gifted her with a stunning, authentic patina—flaking layers of vintage lavender and forest green paint that reveal the solid cast stone beneath. She isn’t just a garden ornament; she is a weathered survivor of the Crescent City, carrying the character and 'crust' that only comes from half a century of Southern sun and rain.

Perfect for a collector who appreciates the beauty of the found and the storied, she is ready to bring a touch of NOLA soul to a new home."
