Seated upright on haunches with forepaws planted forward and an open snarling mouth facing the viewer, this piece commands attention with an alert, sentinel quality that is impossible to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCast Bronze, Hand-Finished with Verdigris Patina\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast using the traditional lost-wax method, this sculpture is produced from solid \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003ecast bronze\u003c\/span\u003e, a material renowned for its density, longevity, and the richness of surface detail it preserves. Every element of this piece rewards close inspection: the individual talon definition on each clawed paw, the textured scaling of the reptilian tail, the curled horn above the brow, and the lion-like mane framing the snarling face. The surface carries a \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003eheavily weathered verdigris patina\u003c\/span\u003e, the deep green oxidisation that develops naturally on outdoor bronze over decades and is here achieved and stabilised during finishing. This patina covers the entire form uniformly, including the low integral rectangular base, giving the piece the gravitas of an ancient heraldic artefact rather than a newly cast object. At 130kg, the sculpture has a physical permanence to match its visual authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven its scale and character, this sculpture is best positioned in architectural settings that benefit from a strong focal point: a formal entrance hall, a stone-flagged courtyard, the foot of a grand staircase, a walled garden, or flanking the gates of an estate. The verdigris tone pairs naturally with aged stone, dark timber, slate, and mature hedging. It sits equally well against contemporary rendered walls where its ancient heraldic quality creates deliberate contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandmade to Order, Fully Customisable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe default finish is the weathered verdigris shown, but we are happy to supply this sculpture in a warm natural bronze, a dark brown patination, or a black oxidised finish depending on your setting. Scale can be adjusted for commissions requiring a taller or more compact version of this guardian form. If you have a specific placement in mind, a pairing requirement, or a bespoke finish, contact us before ordering so we can confirm the specification with you directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related works in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bronze-mythology-statues\"\u003eBronze Mythology Statues\u003c\/a\u003e collection, browse the wider range of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/large-bronze-sculptures\"\u003eLarge Bronze Sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, or view all pieces in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bronze-sculptures\"\u003eBronze Sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53095745028443,"sku":"BRONZE-DRAGON-14","price":86639.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/large-heraldic-winged-lion-dragon-gargoyle-bronze-sculpture-150cm_primary.jpg?v=1780196971","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/large-heraldic-winged-lion-dragon-gargoyle-bronze-sculpture-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
