A cast metal figural sculpture depicting a seated drummer boy in a stylized, folkloric form. The figure is shown playing a drum, with exaggerated features and a green patinated base suggesting a wave or flowing form. The piece has a two-tone finish with darkened body and verdigris-style accents. The sculptural style and casting suggest mid-to-late 20th century decorative production, likely intended as a whimsical or folk-inspired decorative object. Marked FW 43.
Dimensions: Height 9 in; Length 9 in; Width 4 in
Condition: Noticeable paint loss, surface wear, and scuffing throughout, particularly along edges and base. Oxidation and finish wear consistent with age and handling. No major structural damage observed.
