A substantial cast iron bear sculpture modelled in a relaxed reclining pose, resting upon a naturalistic oval base.

The figure displays excellent surface detail throughout, from the textured fur and facial features to the realistically modelled paws and ground beneath.

The underside bears marks associated with the famous Kasli Foundry tradition, renowned for producing highly detailed cast iron sculptures inspired by Russian wildlife and decorative arts.

The bear’s informal posture gives the piece a distinctive character, capturing both the strength and personality of the animal.

Finished in a deep black patina, this sculpture makes an impressive decorative statement and would suit a study, library, country house interior, desk display or collection of animalier art.

A striking cast iron wildlife study with strong decorative appeal.
