Mann,
I hear these little fellas are smart as a whip,
would he listen to what you told him? Will you get another one?
Mikee - I'm glad you share my enthusiasm for these older, decorative arts. It seems the Germans really enjoyed their penchant for animal figures of all types, and so do I ..
Here's a bronze figure of a Rehbock or male
roe-deer, cleaning his hoof. This elegant buck is the work of Albert Hinrich Hussmann, one of the less well-known sculptors for the Rosenthal porcelain works. To the best of my knowledge this piece dates to around 1941-'42.
Good prospecting and collecting to all !
Bill
