Another Old Friend With A New Home – BRZ-2124
This “distinguished”, gilded bronze Mastiff sits guard on a marble base. This bronze dog looks like his ancient, ferocious, war dog relative, poised and ready to take on the enemy or be pitted against lions!
This “distinguished”, gilded bronze Mastiff sits guard on a marble base. The Mastiff, one of the most ancient dog breeds, has the “Molossus” as an ancestor, going back nearly 5,000 years! This bronze dog looks like his ancient, ferocious, war dog relative, poised and ready to take on the enemy or be pitted against lions! He shows great detailing: fur lines, musculature, and wrinkled skin, and his tough expression is most likely a “front” protecting a huge heart and stoic loyalty and determination. He sits 6″ tall (including the base) x 4″ in diameter. Aside from a few tiny knicks in the front edge of the base, he is in excellent condition. He definitely belongs on a desk or in the study of an individual with a strong personality!
We are so happy this Mastiff found a new home. Would you like to find a vintage or antique dog collectible and bring home your own new friend? Just check out our shop to see our currently available antique and vintage dog collectibles.
