A very cute cheetah or leopard cub to warm your heart. Hand painted with the sweetest eyes and pose, the little paw pads, the nails, and the varying shades on the coat are all perfectly detailed. These handmade animal statues were all the rage in the 1960s and '70s and are coming back in full force. You see them often now in catalogs and online, made in China and most likely machine made; this one is a true work of art, handmade in Portugal.

It came from an estate sale of a world traveler living in Miami, Florida. We purchased several pieces from him, all absolutely wonderful. A special addition to enhance your home.
