Lot 45: A Pair of Moulded Wood-Effect Resin Figurines Depicting a Shepherd and Shepherdess
A pair of figurines constructed from a moulded composite resin material, finished with a dark brown stain to simulate the appearance of hand-carved wood. The first figure depicts an elderly, bearded man in a heavy cloak and wide-brimmed hat, cradling a lamb in his arms. The second figure represents a woman in rustic attire including a headscarf and apron; she holds a metal wire distaff with an attachment of raw white wool, while a sheep stands by her side. A small white rectangular adhesive label bearing the number 7 is affixed to the base of the male figure. A bright orange rectangular adhesive label bearing the number 45 is attached to the side of the sheep on the female figure. No maker marks, signatures, or country-of-origin stamps are visible on the surfaces of either piece.
Condition report:
Both figures show an accumulation of dust in the deeper recesses of the moulding. The male figure has several small white marks and minor losses to the brown surface finish on the left shoulder and along the folds of the cloak (photo 1). The female figure has a bright orange adhesive label adhered to the flank of the sheep (photo 1). The wool attachment on the distaff is loose and frayed (photo 1).
