I inherited a "statue" of a sitting blond collie...very Lassie-like and about 30" tall, of unknown age. It's dirty and I'm not in love. Made of paper mache or plaster or? Realizing that occasionally something dirty and unattractive can still be of value, should I dump it or attempt to paint....faux stone, perhaps? I'm guessing it's maybe circa 1960's.

I do appreciate your opinions. Hope no pic doesn't make it impossible for you . :>/
