Large Derby Figurine Representing Britannia, Ca. 1765

A lovely example of the early English sculptures produced at the Derby Factory during Derby’s golden age. The form of this figurine is from the story of Una and the Lion. At the time of this listing I also have a figure of Minerva that would make a great companion piece.
