Mr. and Mrs. Lowrey B. McCaslin of La Canada Flintridge have donated a seven-foot white marble statue of a woman holding an urn to the Arboretum in Arcadia.

The statue, valued at $100,000, was sculpted by French artist Louis Aime LeJeune in 1930. It was commissioned by Anita Baldwin, daughter of Lucky Baldwin, who once owned the land that is now the arboretum, for her estate, Anoakia, on Baldwin Avenue in Arcadia.

The McCaslins acquired the statue when they bought Anoakia, formerly the site of a private school. The property is planned for development.
