Antique Bronzed Spelter Figures
This pair of antique figures are crafted from bronzed spelter, a metal alloy often used for sculptures due to its affordability and ability to mimic bronze. One figure depicts a cherub playing pipes, exhibiting delicate detailing in its wings and facial features. The other figure portrays a seated Indian figure, likely inspired by Eastern religious iconography, and displays a serene and contemplative pose. Both figures showcase the craftsmanship typical of early 20th-century statuary.
