Description from the seller

The statue itself is a two toned patina, dark and with an antique rustic green accentuating the detail and mimicking an aged effect. It is of she-wolf in a standing position over the twin brothers, Romulus and Remus. She stands firm and has intricate detailing of a thicker mane around her neck and down her spine. Her ribs are accentuated and her ears are upright. She protects the boys with her body and shields them from harm. Underneath are Romulus and Ramus. One boy sit's with his palms up under her breasts, his mouth just under her nipple. The other kneels and also has his palms facing upwards. They both seem to rejoice in the fact that they are being given nourishment.
