All God's Children - hotsell Extraordinarily Rare - handmade figurine - One of a Kind - HAND SIGNED

This is a one-of-a-kind early figurine by Martha Holcombe. This is an unusual piece. It is a little boy in a large cowboy hat holding a newspaper that talks about plastic surgery. It appears that he is also holding a "face" in his hand. I am not sure about the message here, but it is indeed different.

This figurine is NOT a reproduction. Those came later and I have many for sale on this site. I have tried to show each aspect of the primitive figures first modeled from crushed pecans and clay. Martha signed these pieces and in the case of this one, she etched a copyright symbol and the year "93" and her initials "M.H" into the clay. She has also signed the piece on the back.

This figurine is for the true collector who wants to own an original Martha Root/Holcombe piece of art.

Martha Holcombe hotsell (known as Martha Root in her early days) or better known as "Miss Martha"sculpted these figurines beginning in the 1980s. These African American figurines came to life beginning in 1985 when Miss Martha sculpted her first black figurines and christened them with the name "All God's Children". This figure is individually handcrafted with a blend of crushed pecan shells and resin and is proudly made in the USA. Each delightful figure has its own unique personality and story. This piece is in great condition free of cracks or repairs.
