He stands in a confident pose with one hand resting on his hip while the other grips a slender staff topped with an ornate candle cup.

The figure has a richly textured, dark bronze and gold-toned finish, with highlights that emphasize the fur, facial features, clothing, and decorative base. Its humorous combination of animal and gentleman makes it especially appealing as a conversation piece.

Likely style: Victorian-inspired or whimsical English country-house décor.

Possible materials: Bronze, cast brass, or another metal alloy with an antique bronze finish. The photograph alone cannot establish the exact metal.

Potential uses: A mantelpiece accent, library or study ornament, hunting-lodge décor, or collectible animal sculpture. See less
