Lot 151:
Description
A collection of twelve vintage figurines comprising character figures and an assortment of carved animals. The lot includes two cast resin or composite anthropomorphic character figures: a pirate wearing a red headscarf and eye patch, and a fisherman in yellow sou’wester foul-weather gear. The animal subjects include two large stylised elephants in a high-gloss, light-coloured material designed to mimic aged ivory, both featuring raised trunks.
The collection further contains several African style hardwood carvings, including three elephants, one of which features inset tusks, a lion, a rhinoceros, and a hippopotamus. Also included are two wooden duck decoys with elaborate hand-painted floral and geometric decoration in green, red, and gold tones. No manufacturer marks or signatures are visible on any of the pieces.
Condition report:
