Peace Sign Hippie Character Figurine

This item is a decorative figurine depicting a stylized male character, likely representing a hippie or peace-era figure. The figurine appears to be made of a ceramic, resin, or similar composite material, with a smooth, glazed finish in some areas and a matte finish in others. It stands on a rectangular base, which is integrated into the piece. The character features a caricatured face with a wide smile, large, round, upward-looking eyes, and a prominent nose. His hair is sculpted in black, appearing somewhat dishevelled. He is depicted wearing a long-sleeved shirt or jacket, primarily black with numerous small, yellow, four-petal floral patterns scattered across it. Around his neck, he wears a necklace with a prominent circular peace symbol pendant, rendered in red and yellow within a circular border. His lower body is clad in what appear to be trousers or bell-bottoms, predominantly red with some darker, possibly black or brown, elements creating a mottled or patchy design. His bare feet, complete with individual toes, emerge from the bottom of his trousers, and he appears to be wearing sandals, with visible straps over the tops of his feet. Both hands are raised, each forming a 'V' gesture (peace sign) with the index and middle fingers extended. The overall color palette is vibrant, with stark contrasts between the black, yellow, and red. The base of the figurine is off-white or cream-colored, and the word "PEACE" is embossed or painted in a reddish-brown, slightly blocky font across the front. The craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced item, possibly from the late 20th century, evoking the imagery and sentiment of the 1960s or 1970s. There are no obvious signs of significant damage or repairs, though some slight discoloration or dust appears on the base. The piece exhibits a folk art or novelty item quality, focusing on a clear thematic representation.
