This is a resin, hand painted sculpture made by esteemed workshop, Border Fine Arts. It features a flock of sheep being shepherded down a rural, British, country lane, momentarily trapping a lady inside a telephone box. A cow watches from over the wall. It is part of the James Herriot collection so I imagine it’s a scene from the books or series. It is signed and modelled by Hans Kendrick and issued in 2005. The model number is A6026. The wooden base is 28 cmx 17 cm and the the height is 16 cm. It comes in it’s original box with foam inserts. Very good condition with no damage. It will be sent in a double walled box with plenty of padding.
