1986 Leah/Retired Tom Clark Country Folk Figurine/Corn and Flowers

Description: Join Artist Tom Clark in celebrating Mothers and Grandmothers everywhere with his 1986 figurine Leah! From Clark's "Country Folk" Series, Leah is a homemaker. The backbone of the American culture, she values not only the practical as she keeps her family fed long before there were fast food outlets in every town. but also, natural beauty. Artist Clark relates her story which has a Biblical basis: "Leah is Rachel's sister and is just as skillful in the kitchen. Jacob has brought her the fresh corn just as she was working in her flower garden, picking the flowers you see in the basket at her side. The bonnet on the back of the chair protects her from the sun. After shucking several ears of corn, she will arrange the flowers, for it is her Sunday to decorate the church." Our Leah is #78 from mold #1144. Measuring 8.75" tall by 5.5" wide, across the base, she is in pristine condition. Created in 1986, Leah was issued by Cairn Studio on January 1, 1987. She retired October 31, 1994, but still actively whispers inspiration and gardening tips to contemplative individuals with brown thumbs! Highly detailed, Leah shows a dignity that comes from a life of worth. I can almost taste that fresh corn! Help honor the working men and women with Leah! She had strong survival skills needed to make these United States grow. Hopefully as the younger generation, we have inherited the same character traits.
