Japanese bronze animal sculpture
About the Item
tension of a ferocious tiger terrorizing a fiercely defensive alligator. This significant bronze sculpture, executed by a skilled Japanese artisan, freezes a moment of a recurring theme of nature, the fight for survival. Adding to its
unique beauty, the scene is posed on a free-standing thick slab of natural redwood. The tiger and alligator are individually cast and then interlock to form
this "statement" sculpture. Notable is the detail of the combatants strong, muscular bodies and piercing green glass eyes. Finally, the bronze displays a rich
brown patina of age.
