Lot 194: 1920s 1930s Art Deco Metal Speed Nymph Goddess Hood Ornament Mascot

A 1920s 1930s Art Deco Speed Nymph Goddess Hood Ornament Mascot. This figural statuette depicts a dynamic female figure, possibly a dancer or sprite, balanced on one leg with arms extended, characteristic of the Art Deco period. It is crafted from a metallic alloy, likely brass or bronze, which exhibits areas of worn brighter plating (possibly chrome or nickel) revealing the warmer base metal beneath, suggesting a dual-tone finish or significant surface wear over time. The figure is mounted on a stepped, square metallic base. No discernible manufacturer’s marks or textual inscriptions are visible on the figure or its base.
