It was unmounted, I stuck it in the frame. It's about a foot tall, seems to be cast resin with an applied finish. The top of the head and the feet look like they had some hand shaping. It had the two bolts in the back when I found it so I assume it was mounted to something at one point. A bit of wear of the finish on the chin and a cheek suggests that it had some regular contact, as would happen if it were a decorative element of a door pull. I've poured over all the CoCo Joe's (and similar) designs I could find and it doesn't match any of those, nor is the finish like those pieces.
