Goebel Hummel 361 Favorite Pet (My Favorite Pet), Girl with Lamb Figurine

Hummel 361 Favorite Pet shows a little girl kneeling on a round grassy base, looking down at a white lamb standing at her left side. Her light brown hair, streaked darker brown, is parted and braided, with a wreath of yellow flowers (warm golden yellow with dark centers) across the top and orange-red bows on the braid ends. She wears a dark brown, almost black, bodice with cream puff sleeves and a long orange-red skirt, a rusty red-orange. Her left arm is around the lamb's back, and in her right hand she holds a yellow flower out to its nose. An empty woven basket with a twisted handle sits at her right side.
