The original bronzing on the spelter statue is excellent and the boy has exceptional detail, [all of his fingers and toes show clearly as well as the rings on the onions]; these last items are very poor on the Chinese reproductions we see. Both the arm and the statue have a lot of nicotine from a smokers room, but has been well cared for. Statue is mounted to original turned wooden base. Height 15.75Ó $1,350-$1,550
