Measuring approximately 8" high, I estimate this to be at least from the 1940s or 50s.
The lovely piece is a figural porcelain statue of Saint Lazarus, or as on the front of this piece, "SAN LAZARO". It has its original label on the bottom which says "SANMYRO JAPAN". The attention to detail is excellent! Hand painted in muted tones, the figurine depicts the martyr, Lazarus (I bought this from an Episcopalian proest who explained that this is NOT Mary Magdellen's son, but rather the Lazarus from a different bible parable). He stands with a crutch and sores over his body, and at his feet are two dogs.
In excellent condition, this great piece makes quite a terrific display. Free of any damage or repair whatsover, it is original and as detailed on the back as it is on the front.
