AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Figurative modern-classical style with elements of Art Deco.
The shown figurine is a reclining solid bronze mermaid with a stylized fish tail and hair in a classic updo.
Art Deco influences: The pose of the mermaid—with a gracefully twisted upper body, a resting arm, and the streamlined shape of the tail—strongly recalls the stylized sculptures from Art Deco (the 1920s and 1930s).
A weight of over 3 kilograms for a refined figurine of 18 cm points to genuine bronze quality, made using traditional casting processes.
The solid bronze sculpture has a beautiful patina.
