Red Sweater Dog Appraisal

Chihuahua Figurine in Red Sweater

This is a decorative cast resin figurine of an anthropomorphic or stylized Chihuahua dog. The item stands approximately 6 to 8 inches tall and is constructed from a heavy cast resin material with a textured, matte finish designed to mimic the appearance of carved wood or clay. The dog is depicted in a playful, dynamic pose with one front paw lifted and a tilt to its head. It features a tan or ochre-colored body with very large, upright ears characteristic of the breed. Detailed black paint highlights the eyes and nose. A notable feature is the molded red sweater with a ribbed texture and vertical central band, which appears as a permanent part of the sculpture rather than a fabric addition. The craftsmanship is contemporary mass-market decorative grade, likely dating from the early 21st century. The condition appears fair to good locally, though there is a visible break or missing section at the bottom of the rear left leg, leaving a flat resin stump exposed. There are various scuffs and minor surface dirt visible across the textured body, particularly on the prominent ears and nose. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible from the upward-facing angle shown.
