A gazelle is any of various small, swift antelopes of the genus Gazella and related genera of Africa and Asia, characteristically having a slender neck and ringlike horns. Gazelles are known as swift animals – some are able to maintain speeds as high as 50 miles per hour (80 km/h) for extended periods of time. This fact is demonstrated in this piece, as it demonstrates a gazelle running away from a cheetah. Cheetahs are one of the gazelles largest predators. The cheetah is an atypical member of the cat family that is unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 112 and 120 km/h (70 and 75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 460 m (1,500 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 110 km/h (68 mph) in three seconds, faster than most super cars. Recent studies confirm the cheetah's status as fastest land animal. Tfore, one can see how this cheetah was able to catch up to the swift gazelle. He bites into the gazelle, as it leans to the side and falls down, deeply affected by the might of the cheetah as well as the fact that the cheetah has its claws deep into the gazelle's back, intensifying the blow.The cheetah's paws have semi-retractable claws (known only in three other cat species: the Fishing Cat, the Flat-headed Cat and the Iriomote Cat) offering extra grip in its high-speed pursuits. The artisan crafted this piece with authentic intricate detail that allowed him to truly bring it to life, readily seen in the fine details of the gazelle's horn, its shocked expression, and the muscular build of the cheetah.

Although mechanization has facilitated the lost wax process of bronze casting, the procedure is basically the same as that used by the Chinese when they first developed the process in the 2nd millennium BC. The Rubber Mold First the artist creates an original sculpture out of any number of media, including stone, wax, clay, wood and pottery. This image is coated with a silicone rubber molding material that makes two rubber mold halves (each rubber mold has a front and a back piece). A fiberglass outer shell is added to the back of each mold so it retains its shape and rigidity during subsequent uses. These molds are the only components that are ever re-used in the casting process. All other components are re-created for each casting. The Wax Positive Onc... read more
