kyratango
(439 items)
A tough boy!
Bought on eBay USA, very affordable until I realise there was global shipping costs with custom fee included... a shame as items under 150€ are exonerated of custom fees...
But I'm very pleased though he joins the Vienna bronze animals hoard :-))
12cm (4.3/4") long.
6.5cm (2.5") high
Faintly marked under belly "geschutz" (aka registered).
The bristles are gently worn, and he was well loved!
My only kyratisation was a gentle clean of the bronze part followed by a little rub with a shoe polish brush.
An awesome tough boy :)
Awww, thank you Buckethead for your early and kind comment!
Thanks Hamish for your lovely visit :-D
Some other examples, I'm stumped by the said size of the first one... Huge???the second boar is tiny!

Wow Pascale, he is a tough one for sure! So great though to add to your collection. Don't think I would like that huge one as much:-)
You sure find the most unusual items :-) He is a angry looking guy but very cool . To bad about the fee's I don't understand why countries collect custom fee's and who get's the money ? xo
He sure....Grunt to you for finding him !! Oink
Way to go...he got the perfect home now !!
Yeah a lot of them turn up in america. I see lots on some of the german auctions I shop at in germany. Can find some wonderful ones and this one is a true beauty. Congrats on getting this !~
A very handover boar!

Judy! he is very pleased here, and wouldnt like to cross the path of the huge other one ;-))
Mani! special grunt to you, he is very glad you find him cool :-) (for the fees... I think they pay nothing and keep them, at least for the exonerate pieces!)
Rose, thankful grunts and oinks back to you (he said too he loves your Canadian accent!)

Wow! I would be frightened to stick my nib anywhere near this angry-looking character.
Thanks Gary! A sweet day for you too :-))
Vintagelamp, he maybe seems frightening, but in fact very sweet boy!
