AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

For sale is a beautiful and expressive Art Deco sculpture of an athletic female athlete from the 1920s/1930s.

It depicts an athlete in a dynamic throwing pose, probably a shot putter or boule/Boccia player. The era-typical bobbed hairstyle and the dynamic design are characteristic of the period.

The figure stands on a two-tier, black-and-white marbled marble base and is fixed there.

Details:

* Art Deco, presumably 1920s/1930s
* Motif: athlete / presumably boule- or boccia-player
* Detailed metal cast (zinc cast / régule)
* Dark bronze patina
* Thin copper layer under the patina
* Non-magnetic
* Height of the figure: approx. 20 cm
* Weight of the figure without base: approx. 968 g
* No visible signature

Condition:
Age-appropriate very beautiful and authentic condition with nice patina and corresponding signs of wear. On the hidden underside there is a small, unobtrusive material-test site, visible in the detail photos.
