Description from the seller
This statue depicts a seated cheetah, made of ceramic. An example of interior decorative items, associated with Italian artistic production very popular between the 1960s and 1980s.
Here is a detailed description of its main elements:
Aesthetic Characteristics
Subject and Pose: The animal is portrayed in a proud and composed pose, seated on its hind legs with the torso upright. The head is slightly tilted, giving the figure a vigilant yet serene expression.
Coloring and Details: The coat has an ochre/orange base that fades to white on the muzzle, chest, and lower body. The dark spots are created with a shading technique typical of high-quality ceramics, which avoids too sharp outlines for a more realistic effect.
The Face: The eyes are particularly expressive, painted with an amber-yellow tone and well-defined black pupils. The black glossy nose and the thin lines around the mouth enhance the realism of the feline.
Materials and Finish
Material: Italian Ceramics!!!!!!!!
Finish: The surface is entirely glazed (glossy), which gives the statue a strong reflectivity and a sense of preciousness to the touch. The brilliance of the glaze enhances the chromatic contrasts of the plumage.
We do not ship to Germany!!!!!
