About this object

The statuette shows a mana and a woman as a pair of lovers. The girl is standing, and holding a white object in her left hand. Her right arm is around the boy's shoulders. She wears a pink tilted brimmed hat, a white blouse, blue corselet, pale blue bustle, and red skirt with flowers. There is a white tree stump for support behind them. The boy is seated with his two arms near the girl's waist. He wears a black hat, a white shirt, a dark red coat with gold and white reserves, knickers and black shoes. There is a basket of flowers on the white base in the center front. The base looks like rocky ground. Behind them is a backdrop of flowers that look like a large fan with white flowers with blue, red or purple edges.
