Brass Bird(?) Markers marks and info

I was hoping to get some information on this brass paperweight bird.

It has been in my family for a while but I know nothing about it.

It has two makers marks one looks a little like a butterfly and the other a BM type mark.

Any information would be much appreciated.

 

Hi Peterd!

Welcome to Antiquers...........

Unfortunately, I offer no help, but others will be along.

 

Hi, IMO this is a paperweight that was sold in the Benaki Museum shop in Athens, Greece.

 

Hi @Peterd , most people prefer if you hit the "full image" button when you upload images. Then they display in the body of the message.

 

Produced in bronze, aluminum, and terracotta: https://www.benakishop.gr/catalogsearch/result/?q=dove&order=relevance&dir=desc





And thank you, Mat - this has been a mystery mark on 925-1000, though pretty well established that it was Greek...

Perfect. So this is bronze? Thank you for the helpful information everyone.

 

Yes, I think it is bronze.

 

Welcome to Antiquers, @Peterd !

And @Mat , once again I'm impressed with your knowledge and willingness to share it here. Same goes for @DragonflyWink !

 

Thank you Figtree3, it was just luck, I have this one in terracotta somewhere...
