Vintage Stylized Brass Giraffe Figurine

This is a small, cast metal figurine of a giraffe, likely made of brass or bronze given its visible oxidation and warm metallic undertones. The piece stands approximately 3 to 5 inches tall and features a highly stylized, modernist design with a rectangular, block-like base that merges into the animal's legs. The body is decorated with recessed, circular, and geometric indentations meant to represent the giraffe's natural spotting. The neck is elongated and curves slightly upward to a simplified head with small protruding ears or ossicones. The surface exhibits a significant aged patina, showing dark brown oxidation, verdigris hints in the recessed areas, and surface wear consistent with mid-20th-century decorative metalwork. There are no clearly visible maker's marks from this angle, but the casting quality suggests a mass-produced yet solid decorative object, typical of the 1960s or 1970s Hollywood Regency or Mid-Century Modern export styles from India or East Asia. The condition is fair to good, with the heavy oxidation being the primary concern for collectors of polished brass, though it adds a desirable antique character for others. The craftsmanship is decent, with a heavy-set feel and intentional textural contrast.
