This collection consists of three glazed ceramic items manufactured by Goebel in West Germany, featuring designs based on the artwork of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel. The first item is a rectangular relief plaque titled Harmony in Four Parts, depicting four young boys in traditional nineteenth-century attire singing from a musical score against a backdrop of gabled houses. The lower front edge is incised with the M. I. Hummel signature. The plaque is accompanied by a separate, ornate cast-brass decorative easel. The reverse of the plaque bears a blue printed mark of a stylized bee within a large V, the text W. Germany, and the incised model number 134. The second item is a figurine titled Chick Girl, model number 57/0, depicting a kneeling girl in a red headscarf with three yellow chicks. The base features the Goebel V and bee mark, the text W. Germany, and a small painted N. The third item is a figurine titled Little Sweeper, model number 137, depicting a young girl in a floral apron holding a broom. The base is marked with the Goebel V and bee trademark and the incised number 137.
