NAO Catalog - Women with Animals, Birds, Butterflies, or Flowers
For the Women's categories, the distinction between an
adolescent girl (some of whom are listed in the "Kids" section of the catalog)
and a woman is somewhat arbitrary; the focus of the women's categories is primarily
(though not exclusively) on women in elegant dress. This category has been very
popular in Lladró's core collection, and a lot of this style were also made
in NAO, with a spate of new ones issued in 1996-2001. Curiously, many of
these NAO models of elegant ladies had short retail lives - though that hasn't stopped
the company from issuing new models each year in this popular theme
category. Several of these models are more than a foot tall.

Because of the decimal numbering on this, it's possible the same model
