Sculpture

Very beautiful antique small sculpture, an animal figurine depicting a dog of the molosser type. This is a cold-painted polychrome Vienna bronze dating from the very early 20th century. In good condition. Time has taken its toll on the patina, with a few areas of missing paint, particularly on the body. The eye paint is well preserved. A high-quality piece with many details, such as the padlock and the engraving on the collar. This is a fighting dog from a time when dogfighting was legal in Europe, as it is large and its ears are cropped. After these cruel fights were banned, the size of these fighting dogs decreased considerably, as dogfighting continued underground and their owners kept them hidden to avoid having them confiscated and paying hefty fines. Please examine all the photos carefully; they are an integral part of the description. Dimensions: 4.5 x 2 x 6.5 cm. Weight: 102 grams. A great find for collectors or dog lovers. Fast, careful shipping.
