¾" Height x 2" Width x 2" Depth
DESCRIPTION:
The piece weighs about 11.2 ounces, which converts to over 317 grams
CONDITION:
Good to Very Good overall vintage condition: No noticeable bright abrasions to the bronze metal. There are what appear to be two minor dings or slightly flattened areas of the bronze surface on the bird's tail. They are minor and fortunately occur at the rear and top of the rear of the tail. These were no doubt caused from previous drops of the weight over the years and is evidence of prior use and lends it its verifiable antique pedigree. It features its original, oxidized bronze finish with naturally aged patina. Untouched and undisturbed.
Wonderful form and wonderful original bronze surfaces. What are you using on your desk as a paperweight? Extraordinary.
