[QUOTE="Graye01, post: 6993369, member: 24275"]This poor chap was used by my great grandmother as a doorstop and paperweight in a busy office and he suffered badly over the years... I'm not at all sure of his history, she said her much older brother brought him back from his travels to the Far East and that would have been in around 1910/1920. I've looked online and can't find any exactly like this with the rear legs raised. I think he may have had an additional wing at some point, there are a lot of badly repaired cracks/breakages and half an ear is missing. I'm not even sure whether he represents a dog or a dragon... I would love to know, if anyone has a clue, exactly what he is, his age, etc We are thinking of having some proper rest[ATTACH=full]421230[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]421231[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]421232[/ATTACH] oration work on him rather than selling him as I'm assuming he has no real monetary value but we value him as family history.[/QUOTE]
