This lot consists of two decorative animal sculptures: a stylised reclining giraffe and a realistically modelled sea turtle. The giraffe is designed in a modernist, faceted style with a dark bronzed-effect finish, reminiscent of works by Loet Vanderveen. It features a long, tapering neck and is supported by a black base with four rubber feet. The sea turtle figurine is detailed with a high-gloss polychrome glaze in green, yellow, and brown, depicting the natural texture and markings of the shell and flippers. Width of turtle: approx. 17.1 cm (measured against inches-only ruler) Height of giraffe: approx. 25.4 cm (measured against inches-only ruler). Condition: The giraffe sculpture exhibits minor surface scuffing and faint scratches to the metallic finish. A partially removed barcode label is present on the underside of the base. The turtle is in good condition with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs.
