About the sculpture
This monster is attributed to Arent van Bolten, made in the Netherlands in ca. 1610-1630.
There are clearly visible attachment holes, the foremost of which are not cast but drilled, suggesting that part of the monster is missing. There is also an open back. Those two facts suggest that there was a hinged flap, or a rider.
Arent van Bolten (ca. 1573-1624/26) was a silversmith and sculptor, but got especially well known for his drawings. His most frequent subjects were grotesque figures and monsters, biblical and mythological scenes and scenes from peasant life.
