Young's Inc. 1995 African American Mother and Child Reading Bookend

This is a single decorative bookend manufactured by Young's Inc., dated 1995. The piece is crafted from cold-cast resin, a common material for mass-produced collectibles of the 1990s, allowing for fine sculptural detail in the textile folds and hair texture. It depicts an African American woman with her hair in a high bun, wearing a pink robe with black ruffled trim, seated in a blue chair adorned with yellow flowers. She is reading a book titled 'HOLY BIBLE' to a young child sitting on her lap. The child wears a light blue outfit with red bows in her hair. The color palette is vibrant but shows the matte, slightly chalky finish characteristic of painted resin. Physically, the item appears to be in fair to good condition, showing some surface dust and minor paint wear, particularly on the edges of the book and the black trim, which is common for pieces of this age. There are no immediate visible structural cracks, though close inspection for 'flea bites' or small chips in the brittle resin is advised. The piece is part of a nostalgic line of figurines focused on family and faith. This single unit is likely missing its matching counterpart, which would form a complete set, significantly impacting its utility and market value as a functional bookend.
