Description
metal (bronze, brass),
The facial features and details, such as the hat and moustache of the male figure, as well as the hairstyle and strict stand-up collar of the female figure are clearly based on European models (presumably Portuguese).
Both figures appear to be clearly of one hand and to form a pair, but only found their way back to each other indirectly, as the deviating sequence of provenances shows.
