Musician w/ Jingling Johnny Figurine

This is a nice Nymphenburg figurine made from an old Frankenthal model in 1974. It is a figure of a putto sitting on a typical base with a flowing cloth over his mid section while playing a musical instrument. I am not sure what type of insturment this is. I could only find one other and they called it a type of Jungling Johnny while I think it is more likely a type of Xylophone. Either way not a model one sees often at all. It is nicely modeled and left in the white to show off all that nice detail. The piece is in good condition with the tip of the stick in his upper hand chipped and the top end of the unstrument chipped as well. I assume it has a little bell on the other side as well but am not sure as the other figure I found also had it missing. The figurine is marked with the impressed shield mark to the center front of the base as well as underneath with the numbers 1930 over 22 as well as the CT under a crown mark in under glaze blue with 1974 underneath. The figurine is 5.375 inches tall, 3.375 inches wide and 2.375 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $129
