[QUOTE="Jessica789, post: 285782, member: 5758"]Hi. I'm hoping someone out there may be able to help me in my quest to identify this figure. Even if it's just a guess at it's region of origin or what the figure could possibly have been holding. As it looks to me as if he was surely supposed to be holding something; from the hole he makes in his left arm and the way his head is tilted back I have been presuming that he was playing a violin but perhaps someone else has another idea. [ATTACH]91971[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]91981[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]91980[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]91979[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]91974[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]91975[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]91976[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]91977[/ATTACH] The figurine is unmarked and approx 6" tall. There is a harlequin type pattern on his belly but he doesn't exactly fit the description of a typical jester or clown but I guess he probably is meant to be one. There are also no characters either in the comidie dell'arte that I have seen similar to him. Thanks a lot to anyone that tries to help me :)[/QUOTE]
