Appears to be made by plaster and paint. Has a matte finish. I purchased at a vintage store because it reminded me of a momma dog and foster puppy that stayed with us. It also looks a bit likes long haired German shepherd and it’s pup. I display it with other dog statues and during the holidays decorate with the white statue with holly or festive garland. Need to make room for other items. Collie, Long Haired Dog , Australian Shepherd …. Bundle with other likes from my Poshcloset for discounts and one shipping price up to 5 lbs total .
