Description
Full-plastic figure on a high rock formation above transversely rectangular, profiled pedestal with bevelled corners. The little boy, with his left leg raised, sits on a narrow ledge of the steep boulder and leans his back against the top of the stone. He has wrapped his left arm around a lamb lying on the boulder, looking up at boys and nestling his forehead against the child's cheek, sunken to sleep in his sleep.
