This extraordinary beast unites characteristics from multiple creatures, boasting a tiger-like head and water buffalo's hooves. The sculpture freezes the moment just before it bursts into motion, its dynamic form achieved through sleek, flowing curves that evoke the power of the body in full stride. Strong shoulders are accentuated by an intricate spiral pattern and a raised ring set with glittering turquoise inlays. Turquoise also adorns the eyes, imbuing the creature with an air of ancient wisdom. Unlike many modern bronze animals of similar size and shape, which feature square sockets on their backs likely designed to support upright poles, this captivating sculpture may have been cast as a freestanding masterpiece, meant to be admired from all sides.
