From the seller's notes
This is a beautiful and elegant authentic vintage Soviet-era porcelain figurine depicting a slender, sinuous woodland animal—likely an ermine, mink, stoat, or weasel in its white winter coat. Crafted with flowing, minimalist lines typical of mid-century Soviet animalier art, the figurine features a bright, glossy white glaze highlighted by hand-painted dark brown accents on the nose, ears, and paws. It is a wonderful, highly collectible piece of classic USSR porcelain artistry.
