Vintage Bronze or Metal Figurine Child Standing Verdigris Finish Brass Leaves and Marble Base
Description: A fine vintage bronze or metal (we are not certain) figurine cast in the shape of a nude child standing on brass leaves and attached to a small round marble base. The child has a finish which is supposed to mimic age verdigris. Although the photos suggest that the finish is obvious and is light in color, the finish is truly very much reminiscent of true age verdigris. The child, probably a girl with short hair, is standing with her feet crossed and has a hand on her chest and her other arm stretched backwards with her fist closed. A very nice heavy decorative piece that would look great as a decorative accent in your home. Please carefully review the photos presented as they are part and parcel of the description.
