    De-lamped this 5.5 lb fellow a few years ago. Can't find any marks on him. I'm thinking Renaissance style. He seems to be engaged in a dance or an act of chivalry (perhaps while courting). Any info on this piece would be splendid! Thanks!

    Actually, the figurine is dressed in Rococo clothing. Here's a Watteau painting of a man wearing something similar. He does appear to be bowing; perhaps he was originally accompanied by a female figurine.
