Old lead figure...what kind of animal it?

[thrillathahunt]

Dug up this little guy yesterday at an older house. It is a lead figure of some kind of animal, but what? Squirrel? Cat?

What do you think?

You got it a squirrel cat! Nice find!

 

[thrillathahunt]

Thanks beepbeep, I thought it might be a gerbel.

 

[MT_Joe]

I vote cat!

sugar glider? lol

 

[jewelerguy]

personally, I don't think it was made as an animal (although it does look like a squirrel). It look like a broken part of something to me

If the eyes have two pupils it could be folk art

 

[thrillathahunt]

The opposite side is flat. But it is definitely lead. You suppose someone could have hand carved this?

Could be window sealing lead, therefore a putty cat (if you don't have window putty in the states, please ignore this lame joke )

Looking at it this way round it looks like a penguin with a very large d*#+

 

[thrillathahunt]

A putty cat! That's it!

Looks kinda squirrelly to me.

Keep @ it and HH !!

4 outta 5 squirrels in my neighborhood think it an older brother.

Well the legs are to long for a tree rat. Nice find, I like it.

Road kill art.

Chupacabra?

I agree

Love the "squirrel girl" / Batman association here - very cool ! (albeit a bit kinky )

Chupacabra?

Hmm, well there are no sharp teeth and the tail is too "fluffy"
