The sculpture is made with a matte metallic finish, with a surface showing an antique patina and traces of natural oxidation, accentuating its vintage character. The animal is depicted in a seated position, with its arms folded around its head, creating a compact and dynamic composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe general appearance of the sculpture is deliberately naive and abstract, typical of modernist interpretations of fauna in mid-20th century decoration. The details of the monkey's face are outlined in relief, with simplified eyes, nose, and mouth, contributing to the expressive and playful aspect of the whole. The piece features an arched handle joining the two shoulders, suggesting both a graphic element and a gripping point, with no apparent mobile mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible surface is marked by irregularities, some small marks, and a patina that testifies to the object's age, with no major chips on the presented face. The dominant color is an aged metal tone, oscillating between grey and bronze, with matte reflections and some darker areas due to wear and time. No markings, signatures, or inscriptions are visible on the displayed part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of animal sculpture was frequently used in 1950s interior decoration, both as a desk ornament and as a curiosity object on a shelf or console. Its clean style and stylized representation make it an emblematic piece of vintage design, sought after for its decorative appeal and retro charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe presentation in the photo highlights the sculpture on a raw wooden background, accentuating its authenticity and texture. The piece is photographed from above, clearly showing the general shape, the monkey's face, and the upper handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
