A glazed ceramic figural group by Czech sculptor Zdenek Farnik (b. 1928), produced by Jihokera Bechyně, one of Czechoslovakia's principal state ceramic enterprises. The composition depicts a mother guiding a child through first dance steps. Registered as model no. 358 in the Jihokera catalogue; unsigned, standard practice for the period.
