    Awww! He is so cute:cat:
    I think rather modern than old, bronze/gilded applied patina

    I bought him about 15 years ago. I was not sure of the age, but I thought fairly modern. It is nice though. I use him as a door stop.

    Love it. A mouse used for a door stop - a "Door Mouse" - just ask Alice! (Dormouse) - LOL! :)
