Authentic Mid-century Italian production from the Bianchi Factory in Italy called "Roman Chariot pulling 2 Horses" The artist Gino Ruggeri. Ruggeri used a mixture of Resin, Alabaster, and marble dust known as Oxolyte to sculpt this piece in the 1960s to 1970s. Depicts the classical "Ben-hur" or "Roman Galdiator Chariot" The piece is 4inches tall by 4.5inches long and 2inches thick. It weighs 8.55oz before any boxing or shipping materials. Gino Ruggeri did sign this piece w his initials (G.R) can be seen on the back right base under the tire..shown in last picture. This style of decor is called "Grand Tour" This piece was found in an outside storage holder so it suffered some very bad dirt when I bought it. I cleaned it up best I could. It did have a "made in Italy" black and silver sticker on jt but it fell off when I was washing it even tho I avoided the sticker. The bottom also had green felt manufacture issued bump pads but they were completely rotten so I removed and replaced
