Footprint of app. 5" x 3.5". Condition: gilt wear consistent with age and use ( but there is very little wear). Age: between 1850 and 1860. Polychromed figure possibly representing an Italian Opera Character. Figure is standing on a stippled moss covered tundra leaning against a tree stump. The stump also is meant to hold flowers.
