A patinated brass sculpture of a stalking panther, depicted in a low, aggressive stance with its mouth open and teeth bared. The figure is rendered in a sleek, stylised manner characteristic of mid-20th-century decorative arts, featuring elongated limbs and simplified muscular definition. The piece is finished with a dark, near-black chemical patina that shows significant wear and rubbing to the raised extremities, such as the paws, ears, nose, and tail, revealing the yellow-toned base metal beneath. No signatures, foundry marks, or edition numbers are visible. The underside of the animal’s belly features two circular apertures, indicating the sculpture was likely originally mounted on a stone or wooden plinth which is now absent.
Dimensions: Approximately 10cm x 42cm x 9cm.
