Lot 754: An Assortment of Cold-Painted Metal Animal Figurines

An assortment of cold-painted metal animal figurines, comprising two ducks, a penguin, a round sparrow-type bird, and a tortoise. The figures are solid-cast with varying levels of surface texture.

The penguin is depicted in a standing pose with a white and yellow breast. The small bird is of rounded form with dark brown and black textured detailing, and the tortoise features a patterned carapace with remnants of gold-toned highlights. The undersides of the bird figures show painted webbed or clawed feet cast as part of the bases. There are no visible maker’s marks, signatures, or stamps on the surfaces or undersides of the pieces.
