Summary
A hollow figurine of Jemima Puddle-duck, one of the characters created by writer Beatrix Potter, made of a plastic resin. The figurine is broken into two large pieces - the base incorporating the duck's webbed feet is detached from the remainder of the duck. Several fragments are contained in a clear plastic bag placed inside the duck's body. The rectangular base is painted green; the duck's webbed feet are painted yellow. The remainder of the duck is painted white with black eyes, a green and white moulded and painted shawl and a moulded and painted blue bonnet. On three sides of the base is printed ‘Jemima Puddle-Duck’ in gold coloured lettering. Both the duck and the base are badly cracked. Total number of items is 2.
