Description

Second in the "heraldic series," this one's one of my favorites, because it's so unusual. I saw a coat of arms with a wild boar and was instantly captivated with his bushy, bristly ridge and those huge curving tusks. He was portrayed with a collar and a chain, so I thought I'd incorporate part of the idea into this sculpture. Chain is hard for me to sculpt, but I like how it came out.

I realize his forelegs are not true-to-life, but I took my cues from the historical portrayal of him, to make him feel more "authentic" to me. :)

Willamette white clay with iron oxide rub, approx 7 inches tall.
