Pose: the mouth is wide open in a striking, aggressive display, revealing rows of sharp conical teeth and a detailed interior jaw structure—suggesting a defensive or predatory moment. Surface detail: the body is covered in finely modelled scales and scutes, with pronounced dorsal armour plates running along the back and tail. The texture is deeply incised, giving a highly tactile, naturalistic finish. Finish / patina: dark, mottled tones—likely a bronze or bronze-effect patina with subtle highlights—emphasise the sculptural detail and lend it a museum or garden-statuary quality. Tail and proportions: the tail is long, thick, and muscular, tapering to a ridged tip, providing balance and realism to the composition. Base / setting: the sculpture appears placed directly on a ground or stone surface, suitable for outdoor display in a garden, water feature setting, or themed installation.
