A resin figurine of a shepherd with sheep and collie, attributed to Border Fine Arts - This resin sculptural group is attributed to Border Fine Arts and appears to be the model Gathering in the Strays, designed by the artist Ray Ayres. The scene depicts a shepherd dressed in traditional rural attire, including a flat cap and a brown jacket, holding a lamb and a shepherd’s crook. He is surrounded by a flock of sheep and lambs, likely of the Swaledale breed, on a textured, stony base. A black and white border collie is positioned atop a section of dry-stone wall looking down at the flock. The figurine is mounted on a shaped, dark-polished wooden plinth. No maker's marks or signatures are visible, although two contemporary adhesive labels with the digits 7 and 2 are present on the base.
