Bronze Marble Statue Elk Deer Stag Ranch Hunting Lodge It is mating season as the beholder comes across a battle of masculine might between two reindeer; the winner to gain dominion and breeding rights with the desired females, which can be between 15-20 mates. The two males have locked each others antler together and try to push each other away in a tiring feat of strength. They were molded using the ancient method of lost-wax casting and stained with a brown patina finish for preservation. They are mounted upon a variegated black marble base with the artist P.J. Mene's signature. Pierre Jules Mene (1810 - 1877) was born in Paris, France on March 25 1810. He was the most successful and prolific Animalier sculptor of his time, especially in commercial terms, and he is considered an equal to any in ability. His father was a successful metal turner who taught his son how to work with metals and the principles of casting at an early age. Condition: This sculpture is in perfect condition.
