There is no finer representation of a newly born Arabian foal to be found, IMHO.  This is sculpted by Pamala Du Boulay, well known for her beautiful Arabian sculptures but also for her all-breed work for Franklin Mint and other production houses.  This piece is approximately 4 3/4" long by 2 1/4 " high to the highest eartip (including the thin base, which is permanently attached as part of the sculpture).  Cast in fine quality artist's resin (I believe this is a porcelain mix), and painted to a beautiful and accurate chestnut (that will likely go grey, based on color around eye) by the talented Ed Gonzales.

Ed is well-known in model horse showing and collectible circles for his award-winning finishwork.  He is also an Arabian enthusiast and has spent most of his life breeding, training and loving the breed. This little girl is very lifelike, and I believe she is based on a filly he bred and raise.  You almost expect this little girl to try to struggle to her feet for the first time at any moment!  (OK, could be a colt, but I see her as a filly.)

I have lots of photos of this little girl from all angles, and have uploaded a few here but more headstudies are available.  It is a very 3-dimensional piece and cannot be fully appreciated until seen in person.  A wonderful, one-of-a-kind gift of beauty for this holiday season!

Asking $785 USD.  Price includes US postage/insurance and signature confirmation.  International shipping is available, but will likely be higher based on destination and service speed.

Questions?  Please feel free to ask!!
