Metal Flying Goose Figurine

This item is a small, possibly cast metal figurine or decorative accent depicting a goose in flight. It appears to be made of a silvery-grey metal, likely pewter, aluminum, or a similar alloy, given its matte finish and the slight variability in its surface texture which suggests casting. The entire piece is monochromatic, featuring shades of grey with some darker areas in the crevices, indicating a natural patina or an antiquing finish applied to enhance the details. The goose is depicted with its wings fully extended upwards, as if in mid-flap, and its body streamlined for flight, with its neck stretched forward and legs tucked back. The craftsmanship is decent, with visible feather details on the wings and a defined shape to the head and body. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like chips, cracks, or repairs visible from the provided angle, though there might be minor surface wear consistent with age and handling. The patina appears somewhat uneven in areas, contributing to its aged aesthetic. Given its size relative to the wooden surface it rests on, it likely measures around 4-6 inches in length. Without any visible maker's marks or specific stylistic cues from the image, estimating its exact age is difficult, but it possesses a timeless, somewhat rustic aesthetic that could place it anywhere from mid-20th century to more contemporary reproductions.
