Cast in a fantastic form, this miniature figure was used as a pendant, and also possibly for divination purposes. It has a very smooth, worn patina - especially at the back of the piece - which indicates that it has been handled a lot over time. What is wonderful about this small bronze miniature pendant is its sculptural style, with a beautifully curved body, and sweeping circular arms joining delicately at the knees.
Estimated Period: First Half of 20th Century (Likely First Quarter)
