It is difficult to pin down a value on this particular Moses figurine.
It appears there are several different Moses figurines; different sizes and different poses as well as different finishes (letter at end of number represents finish of the item). F is described a 'one finish' and in your case it is white.

I did find an articles that said the same statue but in C finish last known sale was $1,495 but this is a very rare piece.

Your figurine was retired in 1997 and appears to be the largest figurine of the Moses figurines.

There appears to be two of this style moses listed for sale.

This one is in F finish and asking price is $995.

Only a sold price can provide what appraisers determine as 'value' as it shows what someone was willing to pay for that item.
Since there is no sold item available. I would suggest you list your figurine at a higher price (maybe less than the $975 as it has not sold) with all offers considered and wait a few weeks before lowering the price.

Shipping will be very difficult as these items are very fragile.

Several different letters are used to describe the type of finish used on Giuseppe Armani figurines. The finishes can make the same "model" look dramatically different. Knowledge of the specialized finishes used in the creation of fine Armani collectible pieces helps collectors to determine whether a sculpture truly is a Giuseppe Armani. F in your figurine's art number (0666F) means "F" Finish - Flesh colors or white.

I'm pretty sure your figurine is from limited edition limited to 2500 pcs. Check this: at the bottom of the statuette should be engraved year of manufacture "© 199.. Florence" and the number of this figurine "limited edition .... / 2500".

So, you have Giuseppe Armani Figurine "MOSES" 666F (I know Art. 0666 - F is written on the back of the wooden base, but sellers usually don't write the first zero) 17" Limited Edition # (see your figurine number), limited to 2500 pcs., the mold was retired in 1997.
Estimated price is $ 600-800 www.liveauctioneers.com/.../17051482_giuseppe-armani-figurine....
I see Judy found the same figurine in new condition with price $ 995 www.thecollectionshop.com/.../Fine-Art.htm. It is written there Open Edition, size 15 inches, but I think that this is a mistake. Here they also did not indicate that the figurine belongs to a limited edition www.thecollectionshop.com/.../Fine-Art.htm like here www.worthpoint.com/.../giuseppe-armani-porcelain-sculpture.... It is mostly limited edition and rare figures that have such a high price tag.

To get the high price ($ 995) your figurine must be in excellent condition (no scratches, chips and so on) and must have original Armani packaging (box).
