Description
I inherited this piece in 1998. It was in the Jones family from Selma and I recieved it from Mabry Jones. The right foot is missing and there are a few chips of the paint gone. The veining in the skin is raised and the musculature is there as well. The head is out of proportion (larger) to the rest of the body but the detail and raised relief is there also. The bells have a nice tonal ring to them and the paint is still bright. I've not seen anything quite like it other than some statuary that was similar at the Birmingham, AL museum of Art.
