Miniature “Pug with Life Ring” in Painted Bronze - Maritime Collectible - H. 8,7 cm

A tiny lifeguard with a very serious face and a red-and-white life ring.

The pug stands upright with the ring and its yellow straps around his middle, looking doubtful with big glossy eyes as if testing the water temperature. Ideal for a boathouse, a bathroom shelf or a cabinet, and a cheerful present for water-sports fans.

Craftsmanship

Care

Dust only when dry, ideally with a soft make-up brush. Water, cleaning agents and polishes will damage the paintwork.
