Pair of Contemporary Cast Bronze Mythological Guardian Animal Sculptures

About the Item

A pair of contemporary cast bronze mythological guardian animal sculptures in verdigris patina. Attracting our attention with their striking appearance, this pair of bronze sculptures was created with the traditional technique of the lost-wax (à la cire perdue) that allows a great precision in the details. Each sculpture features a mythological guardian animal with bristly mane and tail accented with a serpent-shaped extremity, biting the horn of an antelope that is emerging from the animal's flank. Flexed and ready to pounce, the animals are resting on an oval-shaped base. Boasting a lovely verdigris patina, this pair of cast bronze mythological creatures will be an undeniable conversation starter and focal point in any home.
