Condition: this came from storage and is in good as-found condition. Movement needs cleaning, however animation works OK The scene depicts the executioner ready to cut one child in two and to give half to each of the women that claimed to be his mother. Solomon knew the real mother would give the child up and spare the child. Moving are the sword, the pleading mother's arm and the arm of Solomon. Pulley present, no wt, no pend. A rare item. Ht 15.8"
