Description
- h.123cm
the seated creature with his head turned slightly up
Condition
Good condition and great fun. The carving is in good order - there is rubbing to extremities but nothing of any concern and entirely consistent with the age of this piece (e.g nose and ears). The dogs painted collar is scuffed and has some scratches. The glass eyes are good. There is a split to the underside, only visible when the dog is turned upside down. There are some areas of fading to the dogs coat but again nothing of any major concern. Very decorative.
