Centaur with Cornucopia

This metal statue of unknown origin is possibly intended to be a bookend or doorstop; the tendency for them to be found in pairs and the size suggests bookends to me.

It shows a rearing centaur holding a cornucopia.  Nine inches tall, cardboard and green felt base, unmarked.  Possibly originally gilt but maybe not--found painted various colors.  The material seems to be spelter (zinc alloy).

Identified by Galerie de l'Art Nouveau on Ruby Lane as circa 1869-1900, but I would guess it is more likely to be mid-century -- 1950's-ish.

Value: Maybe $25
