A masterful blend of rugged lodge aesthetic and refined classical design, this piece features a heavily cast brass ram’s head seamlessly paired with an authentic, beautifully sweeping natural animal horn accent.

The craftsmanship is evident in the crisp, realistic detailing of the ram's fleece and coiled horns, which rests upon an exquisite, highly stylized clover and leaf motif tripod base terminating in detailed cloven hooves. The architecture of the base references grand Neoclassical and Empire Revival forms, making it a striking conversation piece for a gentleman’s library, dark-academic study, or an eclectic mantel arrangement.

Standing at approximately 6.25 inches tall, it accommodates a standard taper candle. The solid brass features a gorgeous, undisturbed historic patina that beautifully catches the light, contrasting elegantly with the organic texture of the natural horn.
