Description
A decorative wall plaque made of cast brass, depicting a hunting dog, such as a Pointer or Setter, in an active field stance above a shotgun. The dog figure is detailed with a textured fur pattern, while the shotgun features a trigger, trigger guard, and a cross-hatched pattern on the buttstock. The piece has a polished gold-tone finish throughout. The reverse of the plaque is hollow, typical of sand-casting, and includes two wire loops for wall mounting. A small, illegible rectangular maker mark is cast into the reverse. This style of sporting-themed brassware was a popular decorative item in the mid-to-late 20th century, with many similar examples attributed to Italian manufacturers or distributors such as Silvestri.
