Mouse in Conker

A teeny, tiny little mouse sleeping inside an empty horse chestnut shell.  Please do study the pictures carefully, especially the ones with hands/fingers in.  This really is the TINIEST little rodent I've ever seen sculpted and hot cast in solid bronze.

Both the shell and the weeny mouse are freestanding.  Turn the mouse over in the horse chestnut shell and it's been cleverly crafted to look like a tiny conker.

The Bonsai Collection by David Meredith is an assortment of adorable and very collectable miniature bronze wildlife and nature figurines, hot cast in the foundry in solid bronze and finished by hand with a beautiful, deep brown patina. They are designed to fit perfectly around your precious bonsai tree, but look equally as fabulous anywhere in your home.

Please note that all our tiny bronzes are cast and finished by hand. This may mean that there are slight differences in the colour of the patina, and sometimes you may find small inconsistencies in the cast, e.g. a minuscule air bubble or slight abrasion marks where the finished castings have been fettled (filed). These differences won't detract from the beauty of your miniature sculpture; if anything they will show, without a doubt, that these pieces are all individually handmade.
