Cast Copper Sculpture
The Cheetah
Brass cast cheetahs are sculptural animal ornaments made from cast copper and brass, designed for placement on bookshelves, display cabinets, or as standalone interior features. They are cast in a single piece with detailed surface texture and are finished to highlight the natural grain and depth of the metal. The form is based on a realistic cheetah profile, with attention to the animal’s lean musculature and poised stance, suitable for use in high-end residential, hotel, or office interiors.
