In one hand it is holding a flowerpot with pink and white flowers and in the other a small gardening trowel. The second gnome is wearing a red hat with a yellow and white flower on it. It is holding a welcome sign in its left hand with a bluebird sitting on the sign. Per your submission, the statuettes are made primarily of polyresin plastic.
