I will add to this post as I find further versions of the type of socle used on this bust
Described as A Bust of Sappho
19th century.
H 74 x W 50 x D 22.5 cm.
I don't think this is either Sappho or 19th Century!
A possible clue here is the form of the socle -
The bust was stolen from Durham Castle in 1994, and only recently returned in 2017, after significant conservation and reconstruction work.
