Boy Teddy Bear Figurine with Books and Apple

This item is a small, hand-painted figurine depicting a teddy bear character. It appears to be made from a resin or ceramic material, giving it a solid feel and a smooth, glazed finish in some areas. The teddy bear stands upright on a textured, grey-brown base designed to resemble cobblestone or an aged pathway, approximately 0.5 inches thick. The bear itself is primarily textured to mimic fur, painted in a light golden-yellow or straw color, with a 'shaggy' or 'fluffy' appearance, especially around the head, arms, and legs. It wears a white shirt with green overall shorts, detailed with small gold-colored buttons or clasps on the straps. A reddish-brown scarf is tied around its neck. In its right paw, the bear holds a shiny red apple with a dark stem, and in its left paw, it clutches a stack of two small, aqua-blue books. The bear's face features black dots for eyes and a small, light brown, inverted triangle for a nose, with a faint stitched line detail for a mouth. The overall height of the figurine is estimated to be approximately 3-4 inches based on its size relative to the hand holding it. The paint application exhibits fine detail, particularly in the clothing and accessories. There are no obvious signs of significant wear, chips, cracks, or repairs visible in the provided image, suggesting it is in good to excellent condition. The style suggests it could be a collectible item, possibly dating from the late 20th to early 21st century, often associated with sentimental or decorative themes. No discernible maker's marks or signatures are visible from this perspective, but they may be present on the base.
