Floyd T. DeWitt Bronze Sculpture / Art Deco "Bast" Style Cat / Circa 1960

This was also in the case at GW this week but today it was out on the shelf and half price to boot. It is a vintage 9" DeWitt bronze cat sculpture and signed on the side. A few minor scratches but still a nice patina to it. Being a cat person this was a "must have" as well. -Mike-
