Wow! This beautiful creation by Bernice Brooks is stunning. We believe he is an early one of her pieces because of the different body materials and the wooden stand. In good vintage condition--wear is consistent with age and use. He can come out of his stand, so that may be something to repair. He may also be titled something else, but the retail tag is very stuck on the wood. "Gnome" and "1946" are handwritten on the bottom, so we are assuming those are his name and creation date. A wonderful, rare addition to any collection! Please see photos for more detail.
