A large, whimsical wall-mounted key rack in the form of a curly-horned cow. This characterful brass figure dates from around 1960, and was designed and produced by Walter Bosse in Germany.

The cow's stylised face is large and distinctive, with pointed ears, friendly eyes and polished nose. The curled horns are long & eye-catching, whilst the tail is straight and forked. Keys can be hung from each of the feet. Both humour and personality are conveyed by the cow, and she is perhaps one of Bosse's most memorable works. 

Walter Bosse is well known for his 'black-golden' line of patinated brass animals, which were first produced by Herta Baller, Vienna, Austria. When Bosse moved to Germany in 1953, animals continued to be his main inspiration whilst he designed a whole new portfolio of work to be produced locally. This period saw the birth of larger, more architectural items including his animal hooks, this key rack, and the famous stacking hedgehog ashtrays.
