This is a metal sculpture of a gargoyle or demon or devil. I believe it is cast iron. The ears appear to be welded on. It is freestanding 26" tall and very heavy. I have had it sitting in the garden for several years. It has a matte red paint like a primer on most of the surface. I do not know the age. It is listed as antique because I believe it to be old. I have not seen another like it anywhere. This is listed as pickup but I will work with the buyer to ship it if necessary. It ...is over 150 pounds. It would be best to ship out on a pallet. I would recommend shipping this as freight with a trucking company to your local terminal. Rates are pretty reasonable. You can contact me to discuss.
