The elongated figure wears a pointed, broad-brimmed hat, fitted jacket, and extremely long trousers, standing with an expressive forward lean upon an integral irregular base. Deeply modeled facial features, incised garment textures, and a subdued polychrome palette of rust, olive, brown, and cream give the sculpture a theatrical, folk-art character. The artist or manufacturer is unidentified.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe figure remains in good overall condition with its primary form intact. Several large cracks run along the vertical axis, including pronounced separation through the torso, hip, legs, and ankle areas, as detailed in the photographs. Minor material losses are present around the sleeves and shoes. Sporadic pigment and surface losses appear throughout, notably on the face, head, hat, throat, clothing, feet, and base, with areas of exposed underlying material. Significant soiling, abrasion, and general wear are present from age, storage, and display.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n12\" L x 12.5\" W x 31.5\" H\u003cbr\u003e\nEstimated Weight: 7-10 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - C-22412 - 102026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece will need to ship via freight.
