Tennis Player, cast iron figurine by the Kasli Iron Works, 1961.
Stands 7" tall. The bottom shows Kasli trademark with a 1961 date of manufacture, as well as the Russian language marking "Made in USSR" indicating higher quality goods suitable for exporting. This elegant and inspired rendition of a female athlete is among the more scarce works by the Kasli factory: its rarity rating is R2 according to the reference guide "Cast Iron Art" by Alexander Zak.
The statuette is in good overall condition. The racket has been replaced with a custom-made replica, and the entire statuette has been repainted. The overall impression is still very nice however.
