This unique collection includes three beautifully handpainted stone figurines by artist M. Leadbetter from Cornwall, dated 1978 and 1980. Each piece transforms a natural stone into a lifelike animal figure through detailed and realistic painting, showcasing both artistic skill and creativity.

  • The Ringed Seal (dated '78) is the largest piece, featuring a gentle, expressive face and carefully rendered fur pattern.

  • The Wood Mouse and Harvest Mouse (dated '80) are smaller, equally charming with intricate brushwork capturing their tiny forms and textures.

Each figurine is painted directly onto a natural river stone and finished with a protective gloss. Green felt bottoms protect display surfaces, and the artist's name, location (Cornwall), and dates are handwritten on the bases.
