Description
representant Kalavinka, figurant un oiseau, sur un socle en émaux cloisonnés de couleur bleu figurant des nuages stylisés
Condition
There is a repair to the right leg with a silver joint (showing on the illustration in the catalogue). The attribute in its hand and the billowing veil hanging from its belt can detach. An element is missing on its left shoulder with two small holes showing where it was intended to be placed. A few losses to the champlevé enamels to the rear of the base but overall the figure is in good condition with a fine original gilding.
