A rare Kloster Veilsdorf Commedia dell'arte figure of Brigatellin circa 1764-65

modelled by Wenzel Neu, standing on a circular mound base, playing the lute.

The feather on her hat is chipped away. The edge of the lute above her left hand is restored, possibly covering a break. There is a possibly factory-related, pinhead chip to the skirt in the middle, which has been glazed over. Otherwise in good condition.
