Material: Brass, old lost wax casting of copper/zinc alloy
Dimensions: 4 1/8" height, 3/4" width, 1" depth

Condition: Excellent. Exquisite signs of age, wear and use. Held in a private Parisian collection, the condition of this piece remains unchanged from the time of its original 1950's field acquisition. Left forearm was apparently lost at time of casting or early on through indigenous use, judging by the patination and surface condition of area. Gorgeous chocolate patina accentuated with generous brassy highlights and minute traces of calcification - splendid tiny facial features and hands on this fellow!
