Handmade Vintage Lecourtier Wild Boar & Dogs Bronze Sculpture Figurine Figure
Description
Total Dimensions: Height 10'' x Width 18'' Approximate Weight: 32 LBS Original Reproduction: ReproductionThis statue, created by French artisan Barye, vividly depicts a wild boar being attacked by a bunch of hunting dogs. The huge boar towers over the dogs, but between the three dogs, its obvious that they do have some kind of advantage over the boar. The boar stands with its mouth open while one dog jumps on top of him, another falls at his mouth, and the last one has gotten himself caught in a branch while trying to attack. He yelps in pain as the other creatures continue their attack. One can assume who will be the victor of this battle, but because it is three versus two and the boar is a large creature of might, one cant help but wonder who will be the victor. This piece features the lost wax method of casting, founded thousands of years ago, ensuring an exquisitely detailed sculpture that will add grace and beauty to your business or home. Signed "Barye" in the base.Get one today for the strong person or animal lover in your life.

FAQ's
What material are your sculptures made out of?
All of our sculptures are made from100% hot cast bronze, and handmade in the ancient lost wax casting method. We never sell cheap cold cast sculptures or resins!
What is the difference between hot cast and cold cast bronzes?
Hot cast bronze is created by pouring a molten metal mixture into a mold. Before the metal can be poured, our artists must first create the mold on a medium such as clay, rubber, or wood. Each mold allows for a limited number of pours, and therefore a limited amount of sculptures can be created in any given round of production before the mold is destroyed and the artist must create a new mold.
Cold cast is actually made from resins and plastics which are painted over. They are cheaper, lighter, and less durable.
Generally speaking, hot cast bronzes are very time consuming and limited in their production, whereas cold cast resins can be mass produced and are inexpensive to create.
