This is a heavy and solid bronze piece. Its stability makes it suitable as a paperweight. Vienna Bronze is a type of finely crafted, colored bronze work produced in Vienna from the mid-19th century to the present day. First, using a method called sand casting, bronze is melted at high temperatures and poured into molds solidified with sand, then cooled and hardened. This process is done for each part, which are then welded together, and details like fur and facial expressions are sculpted. Even whiskers are added, and the piece is then handed over to a painter. Afterward, the piece is colored using cold paint, a process that requires the delicate and advanced skills of a craftsman. This is how these works of art are finished. They are also known as "Vienna Bronze" or "Cold Painted Bronze." Highly valued as luxury items, they were originally sold to nobles and the wealthy for display and collection. Today, they are collector's items with many collectors in Europe. A characteristic feature is their extremely small size, with many pieces ranging from 3cm to 10cm.
