This is a early antique creche figure. His original outfit is melting, and he has some wear to his face. He has an expressive carved face with enameled eyes and wonderful details. Although his outfit is melting he still has real present. He has a bald head above of his curly hair surround it. His have lost some of the paint but it shows they are metal hands. I will be listing some more of these figures. This is a very early creche figure, Circa 18th century. Measures about 7-1/2" tall. There is a metal post that is at the bottom of his foot and it may be how he was attached to a wood base.
