This striking, large-scale hand-carved sculpture depicts a robust dog, expertly crafted from dense ironwood with detailed textural work defining its muscular build and facial features. Standing firmly on an integrated wooden base, the piece measures approximately 77cm (l) x 52.5cm (h) x 24cm (w), making it a substantial and eye-catching decorative accent. The sculpture features a rich dark finish highlighting its natural wood grain, and it displays an old repair to the tail along with some lighter variations in the wood on the lower legs, remaining overall in sturdy, good condition.
