Bronze statue
I have scoured the Internet in search of what/who and what era etc this sculpture we found originated. It was buried in the sand at Boca Chica Beach near South Padre Island,TX. We believe it to be bronze, it’s 3” tall. The underside looks as though it broke off of something else, it is concave on bottom. The sculptures palm is up on his right hand and holding what seems to be a flower in the palm of his left.
We found it with a metal detector on Boca Chica Beach in South Padre Island. We have no idea the history of the piece.
