Cibby, a Michael Ricker Pewter Sculpture


Cibby (#9276) is a wonderful Michael Ricker pewter casting and a 1985 Collector's Society Special Edition. According to the January 1986 catalog, the sculptures in this series were designed especially for the Ricker-Barlett Collector's Society, and sculptures in the series were only available for purchase by members.

"Cibby" is approximately 3-1/2" x 3-1/4" x 1". In this lovely sculpture, a young girl and her dog are skiing downhill - the dog even has his feet firming planted on the skis, also, with ears flying back!
According to the catalog, "Cibby is named for Michael and Doreen Ricker's daughter-in-law, Cibby Hunt ..."
Michael Ricker passed away in January 2006.
