Beautiful statue of Marian (Merian / Marian Catharine) Gobius (1910 - 1994).
According to the RKD, the statue's name is "Leven-Ei" (Life-Egg). An alternative name for the statue is "Het Gezin" (The Family).
Signed on the bottom: GOBIUS
In very nice condition.
The egg shape of the statuette conveys privacy and intimacy. A togetherness.
On the back is engraved the shape of a horse, the meaning of which is unknown.

According to information from the Netherlands Institute for Art, Culture and Science (RKD), the statue was made in the 1970s (see RKD information card) and was the model for a 'larger garden statue'.
That larger specimen adorned her grave until 2008. After its removal, the statue was given a central place in the Oosterbegraafplaats cemetery in Voorburg (see additional photo).
