The sculpture is of a male moose, standing still, perceiving his surroundings for predators, food, and perhaps a mate. The moose or Eurasian elk is the largest extant species in the deer family. The palmate antlers of the males distinguish moose. They are generally solitary and lessen their solitude briefly in the hopes of mating which occurs in their season of September and October. The bull stands majestically breaking the stillness and sounds of the deep forest with his heavy grunting sounds that can carry for 500 meters away. Moose are animals commonly found throughout North America that have been symbolic in Native culture since their tales began. Moose often stand for being headstrong, unstoppable, longevity, value, and integrity. Many boys had to seek totems of the Moose to show they had passed from childhood to manhood. This bronze sculpture was cast using the age-old method of lost wax casting stained with a brown patina finish and mounted upon a marble base.
