Minstrel Gnome 'Hodge' with balalaika 4" OOAK Sculpt by Sculpture Artist Ann Galvin Art Doll

Step into Elf World and meet 'Hodge' the musical Minstrel Gnome ~ '... now Hodge was singing a powerful ditty, the tune was fast and the words were witty ...'

Hodge is a sweet-natured gnome, entertaining throughout Elf World with his talented playing and amusing lyrics, ready to brighten your day ...

This is a 'one of a kind' creation having been entirely handmade without the use of moulds here at my studio on the Sussex Coast. Modelled with my own unique blend of clays, painted with heat set paints before sealing with lacquer, Hodge has black onyx eyes. He has soft natural mohair curls and a final dusting of blush. Hodge the talented Minstrel Gnome is four inches tall on a leafy flowered base. He is fixed in place.

Hodge the Minstrel Gnome will be accompanied by a photo authenticity certificate signed by the artist.
