Porcelain Christmas Carol Singers Ornament with Lantern
This festive ornament depicts a group of carol singers gathered in the snow beneath a tall black metal lantern. Described as porcelain, the group includes a top-hatted man in a dark coat and red-and-green scarf, a woman in a long burgundy cloak and red hat, a child in a green hat and blue coat, and a smaller figure in red, each holding an open songbook. A small teddy bear and a wrapped present sit at the base, with greenery and white accents around the figures. The lantern houses a candle-style light and is mounted on a slender upright stem above the group.
