Antique Barclay Bronzed Toy Terrier Dog Art. Signed McClelland Barclay (American, 1891 - 1943). Seen few of these called figurines, even thought this has an ink blotter shape base, there is no rocker pad. Check bottom picture to see clip on bottom possible to hold something else.

Condition is good for its age with average finish wear mostly on bottom with scratches, scuffs, verdigris, tarnishing, nice patina & still looks great.
