Set on an original marble base. The Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. has this identical figure in their collection. On their website, they describe it as anti-Semitic due to the stereotypical facial features, and the fact that Jewish peddlers always carried umbrellas, as does this figurine. The museum states this is of a shadchan, a Jewish matchmaker.
