Description

The figurine depicts the full figure of Abraham Lincoln. The figurine is quite tall and thin, with a dark colored patina. Abraham Lincoln is depicted as standing with his left leg bent as if about to take a step. He is holding in his left hand a closed umbrella that extends all the way to the pedestal of the figurine. Lincoln is bearded and is wearing a top hat, outer coat that extends to the mid-thigh, a buttoned shirt, bow tie, trousers, and rounded shoes. The facial features are somewhat exaggerated and cartoonish, but not easily seen because the figure's head is tipped forward slightly. The figurine sits atop a square wood pedestal.
