Appealing spotted and striped detail to deer's body. Excellent form. Provenance: From a recently-surfaced NC collection, purchased by the consignor decades ago. Excellent, essentially as-made condition with mottling to surface, an in-the-firing lime ping at base on reverse and an in-the-firing iron ping to interior base.
