Painted Porcelain Figurine of St. Francis of Assisi

Image of the figurine. The base is porcelain and is of a patchy area of ground, largely being white/brown with small patches of grass. The porcelain figurine depicts Saint Francis of Assisi as a fair-skinned bearded Catholic monk with a tonsure kneeling and preaching to three white birds. Another white bird is on his bent knee, while another is on his left shoulder. All the birds are looking up at him as he speaks. He wears sandals and has a white cloth belt around his habit, as well as a large rosary at his hip.
