Its slender silhouette draws the eye upward and brings a sense of movement to a still composition. The form is stylized rather than literal, with slender legs, delicately sculpted ears and ossicones, and a textured body that echoes the animal's natural pattern. A mottled verdigris patina covers the surface, giving the piece a timeworn, organic character that suits Organic Modern interiors and layered collections of animal sculpture.

Cast in bronze, the sculpture has a robust, well-built construction with no signs of repair or structural compromise. The verdigris varies subtly across the surface, with slight oxidation and small spots of discoloration that add depth and confirm its age. At 28 inches tall, it is substantial yet manageable, working as a standalone accent on a console, credenza, bookshelf or entry table, or as part of a wider collection of animal figures.

The sculpture measures 17.75 inches wide, 8.75 inches deep and 28 inches high. Condition is very good. Minor surface oxidation and small spots of discoloration are consistent with age, and the piece is structurally sound with no visible repairs or losses.
