After patinizing the figures receive a partial gold decoration.The Mouse Band consists of eight different mice conductor dancer cymbal player double bass mouse flute player drummer tuba player and harmonica player. As a set these figures are an extraordinary decoration idea with a great history. You receive the set safely packed in a gift box with contour cut soft foam inlay and certificate of authenticity.
Founded in 1900, Richard Mahr of Steinach, Germany created the finely detailed papier-mâché figurines that have since become internationally known and collected. Marolin figurines are hand composed using a combination of kaolin, chalk, paper fibers, organic paste, and clay before being hand poured and painted. These figurines, not unlike Vaillancourt’s Chalkware, are known for their artistic quality and detail.
