Allegorical Figure of "America" Figure

A porcelain allegorical female figure of 'America', sitting across the back of a dark green alligator or crocodile. The figure's skin is porcelain-white, with touches of pink on her extremities, and her facial features painted in. Her dark brown hair is loose over her shoulders. Her head is turned to our left, gazing toward the parrot that perches on her uplifted right hand. The parrot is white, with green, red, and yellow head and wings, and a dark beak. 'America' holds a large, spiraling white cornucopia filled with various colored fruits in her left arm. She wears a headdress, cape, and low-slung short skirt of bright multicolored feathers, painted in yellow, orangey red, teal green, blue, and purple. She wears a jeweled gold belt around her bare waist and pearl-like garters below her knees. The alligator or crocodile faces right, red toothy mouth opened wide, large red eye looking back at its rider. Its stout legs stand on a white base sprinkled with multicolor flowers and green leaves.
