Rare Austrian Cold Painted Bronze Terrier Group on Green Onyx Tray c.1930

Exceptionally rare Austrian cold-painted bronze group featuring eight terriers mounted on a green onyx tray,
circa 1930s, likely from the Vienna Bronze tradition.

Most examples of this type include only one to three dogs,
making this eight-figure composition a particularly uncommon and collectible piece —
possibly a special order or studio display work.

Each terrier is finely modeled in spelter or bronze with traces of the original cold-painted finish.
The green onyx base shows natural veins, inclusions, and age patina consistent with its period.
