Taurus
10 in / 25 cm
Zodiac sign.
The massive bull moves forward slowly, but without backing up an inch. With one leg raised, ready to charge, he is massive, yet far from clumsy. His long half-moon horns testify to his deep spirituality and mysticism. The ring in his nose evokes strength that would be dangerous unchained–strength that must be contained and controlled.
Anecdote
When the horns of an animal are amputated or cauterized, the animal is deprived of its spirituality and contact with its profound essence.
Treatment
Bronze (10in/25cm) with black patina. The hair on the tail is bluish and the horns mirror polished. On the artist’s proofs, the horns are plated with silver, nickel or twenty-four carat gold.
