The Hart statue is sand cast in metal, hand-leafed in gold, and then mounted on a glossy solid white marble base. It is a totemic bookend or decorative item which is reminiscent of early abstract animal carvings or the famous cave-wall paintings in France. A set of two Hart statues makes for striking bookends on an open etagere, or for beautiful decorative accessories balancing either side of an entryway console or on a sideboard.
