Bronze statue of boy playing bocce ball
This bronze statue of a boy playing bocce ball has no markings that I could find. It is 18 inches high and 10.5 inches form hand to hand. There is a tag (possibly from the store where it was purchased, which may have been in NYC) taped to the bottom of this statue and shown in picture. This tag reads (I think!) 11/78 600 5522.

This is an early 20th century, about late 1920s to early 1930's, bronze figural of a young male who is in the midst of throwing out a bocce ball. The bronze figure has a deep brown patina and it is unsigned. Without a signature the author of the figure cannot be definitively stated. The hand written affixed label on the underside is a dealer pricing code from 1978. The estimate is based on past auction sales of comparables.
