A Border Fine Arts ‘Ploughman’s Lunch’ diorama, crafted from hand-painted resin. The detailed polychrome sculpture depicts a traditional rural farming scene featuring a dark bay draft horse harnessed to a plough and eating from a nosebag. Alongside, a seated ploughman rests with a black and white dog by a dry stone wall, all set against realistic ground textures. The entire piece is mounted on a polished, reddish-brown wooden base. An accompanying blue booklet bears the text “FINE ARTS,” the stylized brand “Border,” and “Craftsmanship in Sculpture,” confirming the manufacturer as Border Fine Arts.
