My get-pushed partner (Wendy @farmreporter) challenged me to photograph an antique. I dismissed the urge to take a selfie and instead looked around my house for something that might qualify. This figurine -- intended for a large creche scene -- came to me from my mother, who had it as a child. So, perhaps not hundreds of years old, but not made yesterday.

@farmreporter Here you go. I tried to go for a museum-type photograph of an artifact;

The hat reminds me of photos/paintings of French peasants. Given your name I wondered if it has a French history.

It does have an antique appearance, something you do not remotely have!

Still laughing about the selfie.......

@randystreat yes. These figurines are traditionally made in the south of France to create manger scenes.

This is superb! I really like the lighting on this.
And, like Jackie, I too got a chuckle from your selfie comment!
I did go downtown Calgary to get a shot of 'new', but, unfortunately, have not had the time to post it. Will tag you when I do.
