Michael,
This fellow has a lot of care with it's beautiful shiny finish and the inlaid eyes. Is this a personal hood emblem or a commercial brand? I find these so interesting and sorry we don't see more. It's not an easy medium to work with but then, neither is glass and a lot of artisans have their own kilns.
Bronze sculpting seems to be a pretty well a lost community art form! There should be more such "Bulldogs". I wonder why there is such a paucity of modern works by local craftsmen?
I am really in awe of the work from
Benin related to the now lost kingdom with exceptional prowess in making fine bronzes.
I'll try to photograph a few modern replicas of ancient votive figures!
