Bronze Figurine “Indian Rhinoceros” on Brown Marble Block - Dark Brown Patina - H. 15,8 cm

An Indian rhinoceros whose folds of skin overlap like plates of armour.

It plods forward one foot after another, head with its single horn slightly raised. Compact yet commanding, it works well on a desk, a side table or as a bookend on a shelf, and guests will ask about it straight away.

Craftsmanship

Punch marks and grooves recreate the rough hide, and the folds are cut with crisp edges. Its base is a crisp-edged block of brown marble whose golden-beige veins pick up the dark tone of the bronze.

Care

A soft brush or a dry microfibre cloth is enough. Avoid metal cleaners, and keep acids such as wine or lemon away from the marble.
