Description
Here is an antique Victorian folk art sculpture made of seashells and plaster, painted, with a little porcelain boy fishing by the waterside. It measures 8" wide and 6" tall. Remnants of a decal to interior shell unreadable, would have had the name of the beach resort where this was purchased. Little boy holds a wooden toothpick (replaced) that would originally have held a string as a fishing line. Very artfully done. Interior plaster is sculpted like waves and hand-painted. Beautiful shell work. Excellent condition, some loss to paint only.
