Each piece was meticulously hand-made and hand-painted by skilled local craftspeople. This particular figurine, copyrighted in 1997, comes from a golden era for the company. It was sculpted by Ray Ayres, one of the founding and most acclaimed artists at Border Fine Arts, whose signature \"AYRES\" is inscribed on the piece. These Scottish-made originals are highly sought after by collectors today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Details:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e Night Watch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel No:\u003c\/b\u003e B0175\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrand:\u003c\/b\u003e Border Fine Arts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSculptor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ray Ayres\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDate:\u003c\/b\u003e © 1997\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e High-quality Resin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 3 inches (7.5 cm) tall\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand Made in Scotland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e Inscribed with sculptor's signature \"AYRES\", model number, and copyright details.
