    OK, so this will be the last item I put up today. I do not know much about this statue except that it is very cool looking. I don't even remember where I bought it from but I've had it for a little while. This features a lady looking down at a cat and almost has a Greco-Roman or Egyptian feel to it. It is very heavy but I'm not sure if it is bronze or not. I have looked for markings on the piece but have not found any, but the felt on the bottom looks like it has some age to it. This is pretty large at 12 inches high and is heavy/solid. Any info would be appreciated.

      Many times, spelter ("poor man's bronze") is made to look like bronze. What I would do is to loosen a corner of the felt and see what color is underneath. Bronze has a red tint. If you don't see any particular color, then either sand a bit of the metal or make a scratch on the bottom.

      I scratched a small area and it has a Goldish color underneath

      A good bronze would have delineated or well detailed fingers. I think, for some reason in my head, it almost looks like a doorstop. I think I have seen one before on the auction circuit but forget where ?!~

      Wow-thanks for the comment, Phildmorris. I never thought of it possibly being a door stop -that is interesting.
