Please don't pet the relaxing leopard. Though considered to be thesmallest of the four "big cats, do not mistake this wild cat for apush over. While most leopards avoid people, humans may occasionallybe targeted as prey. Please observe this lethal hunter from afar orwith this beautiful sculpture. The leopard lounges casually butreleases a threatening growl to anyone or anything that comes near.Its ears flatten against it's large skull and his canines jut outletting you know he's no housecat. This sculpture features carefullycrafted details including small and dense rosette spots, the bones ofhis paws and whiskers.100% bronze and handmade. This sculpture was cast using the "Lost WaxMethod" in a brown patina with hints of gold. It is mounted on a round black marble base and is signed by artist Milo.World famous sculptor "Milo" is the artistic partner of the LynnForbes School of Sculpture-and is offering an exclusive signature inthe wax of every piece of his items that is Custom Cast with EuropeanBronze Finery. In effect it makes EACH SCULPTURE an ORIGINAL sinceeach one is different than the next (similar to a Limited Edition).Again, Milo-our partner-IS THE ORIGINAL SCULPTOR of this incredible work of art. Milo was born in Paris in 1939; Milo lived most of hischildhood in Andalusia, Spain. Influenced by an artistic familybackground, he began sculpting at the age of seventeen. Afterapprenticing with several accomplished sculptors both in America andSpain, he began his own work focusing equally on steel and bronze.Horses and other animals were a natural direction of his work tofollow. Surrounded by horses as a child and witnessing the fightingbulls of Spain gave him an instinct for the inherent drama of theseanimals. Combining a special cement mixture with steel has allowed himthe fluidity of metal with the timelessness of stone. This processenables him to capture the essence of the animal's nature. Thecharacteristic rough texture and movement of line make Milo workeasily identifiable in both cement and bronze Condition: This sculpture is in a very Good condition.
