Kathi et all,

Jim Nichol indeed is correct. The radiator ornament on most Rolls-Royces is
called Spirit of Ecstasy. If I remember well it was first introduced on the
Silver Ghost model in 1906. It was designed by artists Charles S.Sykes, who
also produced paintings that were displayed in the Rolls-Royce offices.

Apart from the "Kneeling Lady" there are even more extraordinary radiator
ornaments on RR cars, but for a proper discussion on that, you'd better join
a RR group!
