Bronze Figurine of a Figure with Infant

This appears to be a small bronze sculpture depicting a figure, possibly a monkey or a similar animal, holding or interacting with what looks like an infant or smaller creature. The sculpture is characterized by its dark, possibly patinated bronze coloration, exhibiting areas of lighter green or bluish-green oxidation, commonly known as verdigris, which is indicative of age and exposure, or intentionally applied patina. The surface is uneven and textural, suggesting a rough cast or a hand-worked finish. The forms are somewhat abstract, with visible chisel marks or casting irregularities that give it a raw, expressive quality. The overall size is small enough to be held comfortably in one hand, as shown in the image. On the base, there's a discernible, albeit somewhat worn, impressed signature or mark, which appears to read "Truth" or a similar word beginning with 'Tr'. This mark could be the artist's signature or the name of the foundry. The condition shows significant surface wear, consistent with an older piece, including areas where the darker patina has rubbed off, exposing the underlying metal or an earlier layer of patina. The naturalistic yet stylized depiction, coupled with the apparent bronze material and visible patina, suggests it could be a piece from the mid-20th century or earlier, possibly reflecting a modernist or brutalist aesthetic in its form and finish. Due to the visible texture and potential hand-finishing, it points to a degree of craftsmanship beyond mass production.
