Nao by Lladro "Jesus with Children and Lambs" Porcelain Figurine

This is a detailed porcelain figurine produced by Nao, a brand belonging to the Lladro group, established in Valencia, Spain. The sculpture depicts a religious scene of a youthful Jesus dressed in a soft periwinkle-blue robe, carrying a lamb over his shoulders while surrounded by three smaller children in cream and pale tan tunics. A single white lamb stands at the base. The piece is crafted from high-quality hard-paste porcelain with the characteristic Nao pastel palette and high-gloss glaze finish. The central figure holds a staff, which appears to be made of a textured, darker material, possibly resin or metal, contrasting with the smooth ceramic. The craftsmanship is evident in the delicate facial features and the fluid, elongated forms typical of Spanish porcelain from the late 20th century (circa 1980s-1990s). The base is organically shaped to resemble rocky ground. While the bottom mark is not visible in the photo, the style, color saturation, and figurative proportions are distinctively Nao. The condition appears fair to good; however, there is notable dust accumulation in the recessed areas (patina of neglect), and the staff shows signs of slight misalignment or wear. The glossy glaze remains largely intact without visible crazing or major chips from this angle.
