This is an extraordinary 1923 antique KBW (Kathodian Bronze Works) bronze-clad baby sculpture, measuring approximately 3.5 inches tall by 4 inches long. Signed and dated by the artist (signature difficult to read but present on the back), this rare piece carries both historical and artistic significance.

Crafted with the KBW bronze-cladding technique, the sculpture features a layer of bronze over a base material, giving it the weight, feel, and warmth of solid bronze while allowing for intricate detail. The surface shows a natural aged patina, developed over more than a century, which enhances its character and authenticity.

This piece is in good antique condition, with only minor scratches and marks consistent with its age—one mark on the cheek of the baby, but these are signs of a sculpture that has many stories to tell. There are no significant damage to the sculpture besides that.
