Franklin Mint – “Thunder on the Plains” Rhinoceros – African Wildlife Foundation – Bronze Sculpture with 24K Gold-Plated Horn A stunning and highly decorative sculpture titled “Thunder on the Plains”, issued by Franklin Mint for the African Wildlife Foundation. This impressive rhinoceros sculpture captures the raw power and movement of one of Africa’s most iconic animals. The dynamic pose on a naturalistic base gives the piece a strong presence and makes it a true eye-catcher in any collection. Particularly striking are the finely crafted horns, which are 24 karat gold-plated and create a beautiful contrast to the dark bronze finish of the body. Franklin Mint is internationally known for producing high-quality collector’s items, often released in cooperation with foundations and institutions. This piece is part of the African Wildlife Foundation series, which was dedicated to raising awareness for wildlife conservation. The sculpture has an impressive weight of approx. 3600 grams, underlining its solid and high-quality construction. The condition is very good, exactly as shown in the photos. The long front horn has been professionally reattached in the past, with only minimal visible glue traces. Otherwise, the piece shows only very light signs of age and handling. Highly sought after among collectors, particularly in categories such as wildlife sculptures, Franklin Mint collectibles, African art, bronze animal figures, rhinoceros sculptures, and decorative collector’s items.
