Thanks! Your idea with using a pin in a larger hole was perfect for this situation. The drilling disturbed some of the material, but I’m glad I was able to rescue her.
Nice work Paul! One suggestion for reducing the visible break line (offset) at the rear of her neck is to use a fine cement patch such as Meadowpatch20 and smoothing it like plaster. Really enjoyed watching this video! Well done! And thank you for posting it!
The Catholic Church during the Council of Trent (1545-1563) issued a clear statement concerning images and statues. According to the 25th Session of this General Council: The images of Christ and of the Virgin Mother of God, and of the saints are to be had and retained particularly in churches, and due honor and veneration are to be given them; not that any divinity or virtue is believed to be in them on account of which they are to be worshipped, or that anything is to be asked of them, or that trust is to be reposed in images, as was of old by the Gentiles, who placed their hopes in idols; but because the honor which is shown them is referred to the prototypes which these images represent; so that we through the images which we kiss...or bend the knee, adore Christ and venerate the saints, whom they represent. [The Canons & Decrees of the Council of Trent (TAN Books, 1978) p. 215-6]

True Christians don't belittle the religious beliefs of others.
