    Such a fancy base for a part you’ll never really see unless I’m missing something. He had the pin stuck on but I don’t think it’s original to him. Any ideas on anything on him. I keep seeing a gnome but not sure I am right

    Opinions or thoughts would be Greatly appreciated

    ty everyone

    He looks like an Irish leprechaun souvenir doll. Don’t think the base is original to him though. Blarney pin is Irish too.

    I do see leprechauns on Connemara marble base, but I think that base was from a mop trinket box.

    However after your Monet bracelet, Fool me once, shame on me....

    That base looks Indian to me. Typical of the pietra dura style stuff produced there. Someone got the glue out.

    I suspect it may be one of Disney's Snow White and the seven dwarfs. Part of a set. the base has absolutely nothing to do with the figure.

    He's definitely a leprechaun.
