vintage chalkware statue doorstop, elegant 1940s belle w/ afghan hound

Vintage chalkware door stop, a lady in a low cut crinoline skirted gown with her dog, an elegant afghan hound! This has been painted metallic silver, we have no idea if it was originally painted like this in an imatation of metalwork, or whether is was a later (but still vintage, the paint looks old) repaint over a different finish.

She's 10 1/2" tall, nice and heavy, solid plaster. It's in very good shape, it doesn't look as though this was ever used as a door stop, even though we're pretty certain it was intended as such.
