.: Swimming or Diving Champion Trophy :.

Here is a quite detailed and old figural trophy in bronze with a solid and substantial onyx or alabaster base. In total, it is 13” high but we do not know much more about its history since the plaque has been removed. Just below the swimmer who is poised to jump, there is a faint relief of four flags. I have seen this banner arranged so somewhere before but I cannot recall exactly where or in what context. He is another mystery that we will have to research.

.: Small Art Deco Bronze Sculpture :.

We don´t exactly what it is. The seller told us, it might be a German trophy from the Saarland. It´s about 8" tall, mixed material (bronze and marble) and shows a young guy holding or throwing a brick.
