Vintage Dodge panther sculpture dating to the 1940s, executed in a classic walking pose with streamlined Art Deco / early Mid-Century styling.
This piece measures approximately 6.25” long × 2” high × 1” wide, making it a great size for a desk, shelf, or bookcase display. Cast metal with a rich bronze patina, darker throughout the body with warmer highlights on the face, paws, and tail. Marked DODGE on the underside.
Condition is very good for age. No cracks or repairs observed. Light surface wear and natural patina consistent with vintage decorative bronze pieces. Displays beautifully and feels solid in hand.
Dodge animal figures were popular American decorative sculptures in the mid-20th century and are increasingly collectible, especially panther and big cat forms.
