Vintage Pewter Boy with Beehive Statue Painted Folk Art Decor

Vintage hand-painted pewter figurine featuring a barefoot boy with a shepherd's crook, standing next to a classic beehive. Likely dating from the early to mid-20th century (circa 1930s-1950s), this piece is marked "PAT. APLD. FOR" on the back. The figure is beautifully detailed, with traces of original green, silver, and gold-tone paint remaining, giving it a rustic, weathered charm. Mounted on a turned black-painted wood base. Measures approximately 9" tall including the base and about 4" across at the base. Exhibits age-related wear, paint loss, and patina appropriate for its era — see photos for full condition details. A unique addition to vintage folk art collections, farmhouse decor, or as a characterful bookshelf accent. Likely artisan workshop production; not mass market.
