This is an Italian - Vietri ceramic sculpture . It is signed on the bottom. Most likely created in the 1950's. It is quite intricate and is in good condition -given age and fragility. There is a possible chip repair to the donkey's ear and very small hair loss to the rider. These were the only issue found. no cracks or major chips , abrasions etc found. This piece measures 8" tall. It shows very nicely. Buyer gets FREE shipping in the US -via USPS. Good Luck!
