Austrian Bronze Cold Painted Pekingese Dog Figurine

Just look at him! This feisty little Pekingese pup is so full of character, so full of vim and vigor in the movement of his fur. Measuring approximately 4 inches long and 2 1/2 inches high, he’s a heavyweight solid paperweight about a pound and a half. He retains almost all of his cold paint, except for an occasional spot (see the top of his nose). Please see the photos for full description of condition. I’ve never seen another Pekingese dog statue with such beautiful detail. Marked made in Austria on his tummy. C. 1920's.
