House Of Lloyd Appraisal

House of Lloyd Noah's Ark Figurine with Animals in Hard Hats

This item is a Noah's Ark-themed decorative figurine, likely crafted from resin or a similar polymer material, designed as a static display piece. The figurine depicts the ark itself, rendered in shades of brown and natural wood tones with green railings, accompanied by numerous animal figures. The ark features a thatched or shingled brown roof with lighter highlights, suggesting texture. Animals are prominently displayed both on the deck of the ark and around its base. Notable animals include a white unicorn with a blue horn and purple mane/tail at the stern, an elephant, a giraffe, a tiger, a lion, a monkey, a pig, and what appears to be a smaller dog or coyote-like creature. Many of the animals are depicted wearing yellow hard hats, adding a whimsical and unique touch to the traditional Noah's Ark theme. The base of the figurine is sculpted to resemble green grass, with some brown elements suggesting logs or dirt. The overall color palette is earthy and vibrant, characteristic of mass-produced decorative collectibles. The craftsmanship indicates a molded design, with painted details applied subsequently. While no specific maker's marks or signatures are visible, the 'House of Lloyd' context strongly suggests it is a product from their collectible lines, typically produced in the late 20th century (often 1980s-1990s). The visible condition appears good, with no obvious major chips or breaks, though minor wear or dust accumulation might be present given its nature as a display item. The piece is highly detailed for its likely scale and material, with individual features of each animal and the ark clearly defined, making it a charming and somewhat quirky interpretation of the biblical story.
