What does this mean?

Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a cast powdered stone and resin head of David, produced either in Italy or Asia. Such items were produced in huge numbers purely for home decor. To add some weight the forgers usually added marble powder to the mixture. The mold mark at the shoulder is easy to spot. If touched the sculpture should feel warm, quite in contrast to cold stone.
The estimate is based on actual auction results of similar items sold in well advertised auctions.
