It has the appearance of a tomb figure.&nbsp; The molds are comprised of two or more sections, depending on the size of the work.&nbsp; This little boar measures approximately 57 mm long, 35 mm tall and 22 mm wide.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure about the patina, and I&#039;ve never shown it to an expert (never qualified for a ticket to Antiques Road Show!&nbsp; Rats!).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
