Offering a Vintage Solid Bronze Greek Olympic Athlete Statue Figurine - Art Deco Wood Base Description: This was an estate sale find. It has a brass plate on the wood base that shows that it was given as a trophy in 1947 for "Best Athlete". The painted base's shape is an art deco geometric design and cut from a single piece of walnut . The base is 7 1/4 inches wide by 4 7/8 inches deep by 3 3/4 inches tall and weighs 2 pounds 10 ounces. The statue is made of two pieces: The 6 1/2 inch oval base and the 9 3/4 inch athlete. They are bolted together with brass hardware. I have removed two screws and separated the statue from the wood base for pictures and shipping, but they look like they were never apart after assembly. The solid brass statue and brass base together weigh 2 pounds and thirteen ounces and are 10 1/2 inches tall. The statue with wood base is 14 1/2 inches tall. This is a quality piece that deserves a good home. Bidding starts 99.99 and shipping is $12.84. Note: we also have another trophy athlete we are putting up for auction with the date of 1938. This trophy is of an athlete on the parallel bars. The man that died was from Indonesia and his name was Islam.
