Antique Victorian hotsell Children Sledding Statue Brass and wood figurine

Measuring 3 1/2 inches long by almost 3 inches high, this wonderful antique brass figurine depicts true Victorian children hotsell sledding. The little girl rides a wooden and brass sled that her brother pushes. Interestingly, the little boy has either the tail of a shirt or a tail , hanging out of the back of his pants. On the front of the sled is a small loop, indicating that these two children were once attached to something else. Very heavy for its size.
