Strasbourg Fighting Boys Figurine

This is a very rare figurine made by Strassburg around 1770. I do believe it is one of the four seasons probably autumn. It is a figure of two boys fighting with the front one having a small bottle in his left hand and a plum ? in his right hand. The back boy is pulling the other boys hair trying to get to the bottle. They are sitting on a keg that sits on a nice rocky base. There is also a cloth underneath them and a jug. An amazing figurine! Marked underneath with an impressed H mark with a dot above and the letters and numbers C21, 1451 and II. The figurine is in good condition the front boys left arm having been off as was his left foot. A very ingenious repair was made disguising the break as if it is an armband or ancle bracelet with red and gilding. The left foot has a small filled in spot on the backside and the big toe has a chip. Displays perfectly! The figurine is 7.625 inches tall, 4.25 inches wide and 4 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
