Offered here is a hand crafted Bittersweet House Folk Art Standing Lamb. The lamb is created by molding chalkware into a rare German antique chocolate mold. The piece is hand painted and antiqued, capturing the warmth and beauty of a special time and the nostalgia of yesteryear. The inspiration for my artwork reflects a love of floral and fauna, historical art motifs and the beauty of nature. The folk art Lamb measures approx 5 1/2 inches, is signed, numbered and dated on the bottom.
