Cat-like Bear in White Paint with Excellent Patina, c. Early 20th Century Iron Shooting Target

I don't have a particular penchant for old iron shooting targets, but this one, found in New Hampshire, completely won my heart both in silhouette and surface,--looks to me as much like a cat as a bear, which I believe it was meant to be, and with a little pig-like tail, too. In old white paint, and the record of its being shot at recorded as round rust marks across its body.  Feels like am empathetic pet to me, to be permanently perched in a good spot.

12 7/8" l x 9" t x 3" d at base. Great patina, very sturdy and sound, stands squarely on its flat base.
