My dad found this metal detecting. It is about 1 inch tall by 1.5 from side to side and is rather heavy so probably brass. it has ILLUMS BOLIGHUS on the bottom. I have already emailed the company and they said they have no idea when it is from. They said people who have been there 25+ years do not reconize it.

Walter Bosse
Research Walter Bosse. He made a lot of lovely little brass and/or bronze animals in that style.
I think he's Austrian but Illums Bolighus may have sold his stuff long ago.
