| This cute Roman bronze dog dates circa 2nd-3rd century A.D., and is approximately 1.7 inches long. This little Roman bronze dog is seen resting on the ground and looks very relaxed. This type of piece was collected by Leo Mildenberg of Zurich, Switzerland, who built a collection of ancient animal art. His collection were all of animals that did not display any signs of violence, and this piece is a prime example. There is minute detail seen on this piece and the hair, eyes, ears, and other features are readily seen. This type of dog is a breed that one can see today, and appears to be a mixed breed. This dog also appears to have some age, and probably was an old trusted and loyal pet. This piece has an attractive dark green patina with some spotty light brown mineral deposits, and has some heavy light brown mineral deposits on the bottom of the flat base. There is also a mounting prong seen extended from the bottom base, and this piece may have been part of a figural group. The mounting prong extends down into the custom wooden base, and this piece can easily be removed. Ex: Leo Mildenberg collection. Ex: Private Swiss collection. I certify that this piece is authentic as to date, culture, and condition: | ||
