Ron Lee clown figurine

Hitchhiking sad hobo figurine. A hand painted and signed clown figurine by Ron Lee and dated 1981. A unique stand alone piece of art. It has 24k gold plating in various places and sits on a very heavy natural onyx stone base. Sculpture has very light wear. There are NO cracks or chips. The painting is hand done and so there are natural flaws and differences with each one. Check photos carefully some of the gold accent balls on the top of the base may be missing but not sure. It was my mother’s.
