GUEST: The sculpture was originally obtained by my great-uncle. He collected a lot of different pieces, and this happens to be one of them.
APPRAISER: So when you came in, I was very excited to see this. And I was very disappointed in that it wasn't signed. And while we were talking, and I had my super flashlight, we turned it around, and you were just at eye level with the back of this wreath...
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: And the artist's initials are there.
GUEST: There they are, yeah.
APPRAISER: And her name is Janet Scudder. She was an American artist.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: She was born in the 19th century. The sculpture's from about 1915.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: It's called "Victory," and the condition is wonderful. Scudder was one of the leading artists of the early 20th century. She was very active as a suffragette. She was against having separate exhibitions of women art. So she was really quite a dynamic individual. I would put a retail value of this between $15,000 and $20,000.
GUEST: Oh, wow-- oh, that's exciting. That's fantastic.
