Exquisite! Imagine the skill involved in carving those goat legs!! What focus and precision there would be involved- and breath control!
This young goatherd is lumbered with four lively goats (two kids and two fully grown- one is missing an ear sadly) who he must manage. Nevertheless, he looks happy in his work and the fresh air gives him a bit of relief from the x-box. Made in Italy in an area that borders Switzerland and Austria, this keepsake piece is made of maple wood and hand-painted in autumnal tones giving it an adorable heart-warming quality. It stands a mere 10 cm high and is very light. A genuine Dolfi product (established 1892). Shown with a small Pritt stick for scale.
Apart from the missing ear, there is barely any wear. This would be a lovely thoughtful gift for a Dolfi collector or admirer.
