Mounted on its original period heavily patinated brass repousse ornamented wooden base. Size in inches: H 22” x W 8” x D 8” Origin: Italy Period: 1790 – 1800 Material: Walnut / Brass Item Condition This item is completely solid in structure and form, an aged patina and fading of the wood has taken place across the surfaces as you may expect from an item of this age, one side of the ear is missing also. The Repoussé brass detail is loss in areas but still displays perfectly as shown, the 2 side panel brass sections are missing but you can see where they have been on the wooden surface.
