A powerfully built dragon crouches atop a large bronze sphere, wings thrust wide, long neck extended forward and downward, tail coiling around the base of the orb, and clawed legs gripping its surface with deliberate tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCast Bronze, Hand-Finished\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sculpture is produced using the lost-wax casting method, which allows the full complexity of its surface to be rendered in precise detail: the overlapping scale plates across the body, the stretched membrane of the bat-like wings, the dorsal spines running from neck to tail, and the branching deer-like antlers above the beak-shaped snout. The \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003edark brown to near-black patina\u003c\/span\u003e is applied and burnished by hand, revealing warm reddish-brown highlights on every raised surface. The result is a \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003ehand-finished bronze patina\u003c\/span\u003e with genuine depth, not a uniform coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sculpture is supplied on a square pale grey granite plinth, which grounds the piece and frames the bronze's warm tonal range. At 180cm and 400kg, this is a work suited to formal entrance halls, double-height lobbies, covered colonnades, commercial courtyards, and large outdoor terraces. The granite plinth is weather-resistant; the bronze develops a natural protective patina in outdoor conditions and requires only minimal maintenance. The sculpture reads equally well against stone, dark timber, or rendered finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandmade to Order, Fully Customisable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can adjust the patina finish, from a lighter antique bronze through to a deep ebony black with gilded highlights. Scale variations are available on commission, and the piece can be produced without the granite plinth if a site-specific base is preferred. If you are working with a specific site, brief, or architectural context inspired by the work of Fernando Botero-adjacent monumental traditions or classical heraldic dragon iconography, please contact us before ordering so we can discuss the commission in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related works in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bronze-sculptures\"\u003eBronze Sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e collection, or browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bronze-mythology-statues\"\u003eBronze Mythology Statues\u003c\/a\u003e for further pieces in this vein.
