    I bought this off a friend today for $75. I think it's one of the coolest statues I've seen in a while! He said he thought it was bronze. I think it may be bronze, or bronze clad, or brass clad, over something - it is Heavy! At least 40+ lbs heavy.
    There is a indention & it looks like stone or concrete or something similar underneath the outer material.
    It has some green on the bottom lie some older bronze pieces get.
    It measures 17" tall x 16" wide (from paw to tail).
    I can't find a signature or mark anywhere on it.
    Has anyone seen something like this before? Is there a way to tell if it's bronze? (magnet does not stick to it)
    Thank you; I appreciate any help.

    Hi,
    Looks like metal clad over concrete. if you do a slight scratch on the bottom what color is it. If yellow could be brass or bronze if silvery it is likely to be spleter.

    That is a worn spot - not the line I scratched to see if it was gold underneath (below 12:00 is my line)
    Is there a way to make it all gold again instead of the black/grey?
