The piece has very good detail even down to the blades of grass. This antique bookend is very rare.

The back of the bookend has a stippled texture. The base is flat and shows golden brass highlights where it has rubbed on a surface. There is no felt on the base. The bookend is very heavy and will hold up books nicely.

A cast mark on the back reads SOLID BRASS. There are also 2 circles with a design in one. I am unable to make out the marks.
