Rare Bird Figurine

This is a superb and rare figurine made by Nymphenburg around the mid 20th century. I cannot find another example but looking around I would say it is some sort of cactus wren on a flowering and thorny bush of some sort. He is singing to find a lady friend :) which makes sense since they are supposed to have one of the most beautiful songs out there. Native to Arizona and that part of the US. The figure is nicely modeled with lots of detail and perfectly hand painted to look amazing. A good size piece being 9.5 inches tall, 4.5 inches wide and 3.25 inches deep. The figurine is in perfect condition which is surprising with all those leaves and flowers. It is marked with the impressed shield mark to the top of the base as well as the artist initials LTS for Luise Terletzki-Scherf , another impressed shield to the underside as well as the numbers 2033 over 0 and the green shield mark under a crown with Nymphenburg underneath it as shown. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $2249
