The Artistry
This impressive large sitting lamb measures 7.5 inches wide and offers a unique folk art presence. While most chalkware is cast from chocolate molds, this special piece is hand-cast from a rare antique German cake mold, giving it a deeper, more substantial form.
The intricate hand-painted design on the base is directly inspired by the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch floral patterns found on antique pantry boxes. This detail makes it an exceptional companion piece for a primitive or Farmhouse collection.
