Rare Late 19th Century Italian Terracotta Figurine

Description: This is a rare late 19th century Terracotta Figurine. It is handmade and hand painted with no visible markings pointing to its origin. Also, I have not been able to find anything similar to it in any collector's catalog. The man does have a small chip on the back of his left shoulder. International shipping is available but only through ebay international shipping services.Back Story:All nativity figurines, unless stated in its individual item’s description, were made and imported from Italy. I know this because I brought them from Italy to the United States myself. They all belonged to my uncle who lived in Cremona which is a Northern Italian town very close to the area where these statues were made. So close that he even knew some of the original artists who painted them for Emanuele Fontanini and others. My uncle recently passed away at the tender age of 95 but not before he amassed a very large collection of these figurines that he started so passionately acquiring shortly after WWII. It was his wish, mine to fulfill, to find new loving homes for his treasures so that the joy they bring to people does not die with him. I have done my best to provide the clearest images of the figurines and to describe any damages to them that I can see. Obviously these figurines are very old, some over 100 years old, and do show some level of wear. Please zoom in and review all photos since all sales are final.
