François Bazin (1890–1943) is regarded as the best of the various French sculptors who included bronze car mascots in their oeuvre. Apart from this rare accessory mascot, Bazin sculpted the "Cigogne Volante" for Hispano-Suiza and a number of other high Art Deco mascots, offering collectors the opportunity to personalise their automobiles during the 1920s.
