This amazing piece of a black panther biting a small alligator symbolizes the animal's life. The ways of them to survive are vicious but a must, these gorgeous creatures come from different types of cat families. It is sad to say that we lose wildlife animals every day for their own survival. The beautiful black panther sinks his teeth deep into the alligator tale trying to injure him badly to have him just give up. This sculpture was cast using the "Lost Wax Method" and has a brown patina. It is mounted on a marble base and this sculpture is signed by Barye.
