This is a very weird black cast iron Kasli ornament of the devil made in the USSR . He is quite heavy, weighing approximately 306g. He measures approximately 3 1/2 x 7 inches. He has fabulous fine detail to the face especially, having an almost 'Punch and Judy' type look! The following is a little information on the Kasli works. The town is situated on the eastern slope of the Middle Urals, among the lakes Bolshiye and Malye Kasli, Irtyash, Sungul, and Kirety. The Kasli plant became famous for its cast-iron castings in the middle of the 19th century. In 1900 an open-work pavilion was moulded from metal for the international exhibition. It is now exhibited in the Ekaterinburg picture gallery. The art of iron figures making have made Kasli factory well known all over the world. Many of world wide known historical artistic sculptures and figures at Moscow and Petersburg - and even iron made furniture at winter palace - was produced at Kasli factory. A very odd collectable!
