A lion prepares to pounce on a porcupine that it considers to be easyprey but he may be painfully wrong. Porcupines are well known fortheir coats of sharp spines, or quills, that defend them frompredators. In this sculpture, the porcupine does just that, archingits back upwards and bracing for the attack. Frozen in motion and withthe one paw already raised, this sculpture is in live action. The lionsnarls as it closes in on a tasty meal.100% bronze, handmade and fully detailed this is a brown patina withhints of gold. This sculpture was cast using the "Lost Wax Method" andis mounted on a rectangular black marble base and 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 incrediblework 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.
