Thank you! My scanner killed it a little bit in the deeper tones, but it caught the girl very well.

Looks a lot like a Russian Rusalka--water-ghost with a purpose.

I've never heard of the rusalka, I'll have to look it up. In the song, the girl is killed by her lover by the bank of a river. There's other songs in a similar vein, Down by the Willow Garden (or just The Willow Garden) and Banks of the Ohio.
Thanks!
