DescriptionStanding male figure dressed in green tunic with yellow collar. He has a yellow cloak over his left arm, and it hangs down his back, swirls low on his right side and is tucked up and over his black belt. His white and black shoes show under the tunic. He reaches down to the upraised left hand of a standing child dressed in a yellow tunic tied and belted at the waist. His right arm is missing. The octagonal base has some white paint and has faint green decoration in front. The two figures are pegged to the bake. The bottom has some kind of adhesive, possibly for attaching to something larger.
