The Lost is Found! Sculptural Figurine Base

This is the underside of a porcelain or ceramic figurine titled 'The Lost is Found!', based on an original sculpture by artist De L' Esprie. The base is constructed from biscuit-fired ceramic with a smooth, unglazed matte finish on the bottom surface. It features a decorative scalloped edge and contains two circular vent holes necessary for the firing process. The underside is inscribed with black transfer print text including the title, artist's name, a biblical passage from Luke 15:5-6, and a copyright for 'Crystal Cathedral Ministries 2001'. A small gold rectangular foil sticker is also present, likely indicating the country of manufacture (Made in China). The item shows minor shelf wear and grey scuffing along the contact edges of the base, but otherwise appears to be in good vintage condition. The craftsmanship reflects a mass-produced religious commemorative piece from the early 2000s, designed for the Crystal Cathedral ministry. The scalloped perimeter suggests a detailed figural scene once sat atop this base, likely depicting the Good Shepherd theme.
