Nodder Figurine

This is a the body of a nodder figurine made by the Russian maker Golenischev - Kutuzov around 1850. A very rare piece made of fine stoneware I believe and modeled after the Meissen figurine of the Hofnarr Fröhlich aka Court Jester Froehlich . He is standing on a base with some scroll work all around and has his hands around his supenders - his usual position. The body is in great condition with a few minor chips to his boots but sadly the head is missing. Can be fixed since one knows what it should look like :) I might do that some day but for now I wanted an example with the mark for the site as a reference for everyone. The figure is marked underneath as shown. The first line of three letters stand for the initials of the Countess S.A. Golenisheva-Kutuzova the founder of the factory I believe, the second line is the name of the village where the factory was Mor'e. The crown I would assume is also linked to the Countess and no idea what the last line of the single letter means. Definitely a very rare piece from a rare maker. The piece is 6.25 inches tall, 5 inches wide and 3.25 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
