Beautifully hand painted, this Master is more finely detailed than the figurines sold commercially

Figurine base is embossed with artist's signature
Made of Cold Cast Marble in a special method called Charmstone, and designed by naturalist artist Earl Sherwan, well known for his portrayal of dog breeds.
The detailing is truly wonderful.
This Charmstone figurine was hand painted, as were all Charmstone figurines, and is embossed with Earl Sherwan’s signature and the date of manufacture: “© Earl Sherwan ‘85” on the back side of the base.
Marv-Art Designs, Inc. of Farmingdale, N.Y., ended production of their Charmstone figurines and apparently closed their facilities in the late 1980's
There is a tiny 1/4" dimple on the base at the dog's left front paw ~~ barely noticeable (see photo #11). Also a little dip at center front of base (photo #12).
In excellent condition ~~ no cracks, scratches, stains or repairs
