We have
been wondering about this dear little pussy cat: it appears to be made of lead…. If so it
should not be given to a small child – it case (as will doubtless happen) it
gets shoved into some orifice or other and poisoning will ensue.
The alternative
scenario is that it is made of bronze and was once painted – in which case it
is Austrian and dates from around 1900ish.
Or it could
be Victorian or even Roman…. Who knows?
Who cares?
Whatever,
it is a pleasing little creature which will give great joy to anyone who likes
that sort of thing….
