The sculpture features an elongated neck, expressive face, oversized bow tie, curled tail, raised heart motifs, and a distressed blue-and-cream finish with gold, red, and green accents. The underside retains its original “Jeanne Valentine, S.A. Made in México” foil label.

At approximately 41 inches tall, this is a substantial decorative statement piece suited to an eclectic, folk art, bohemian, or maximalist interior.

Fair vintage condition with visible age-related wear and damage. The tail is broken and separated at one joint, exposing the internal support, although it remains attached to the sculpture. There is also a larger damaged area along the lower base edge, chipping and exposed fibers around several toes, scattered paint loss, scuffs, and surface wear. All significant condition issues are shown clearly in the photographs. The sculpture remains upright and displays strongly from the front but would benefit from professional restoration.

Dimensions: 41" H × 15" W × 15" D. See less
