More Information

The figure is sectional and the joint around the waist has been re-glued at some stage with a small splinter chip in the front right, the base may well be 18th century but may have been used from another piece or reattached at a later date as there is a visible hole in the base at the back of the figure, slight chip loss to the back of the base, otherwise in reasonable condition.
