Dear Heather:
I e-mailed a Zurich friend, who has confirmed what you thought. Here
is his response:
"YES, it is Niki de St.Phalle...a guardian angel as a gift by a
protection
services company. "
I don't know if its title is exactly "guardian angel," but this at least
gives another clue.
Happy holidays to you,
Eileen Markson
