Description

This meticulously rendered fibre sculpture captures the formidable presence of the Indian rhinoceros with striking anatomical fidelity and textural nuance. Standing in a poised, alert stance, the figure showcases the animal’s signature single horn, deeply folded skin, and muscular build—each element sculpted with precision to evoke both realism and reverence. The raised tail and subtly turned head suggest motion and awareness, animating the piece with lifelike dynamism. Crafted from natural fibres, the surface treatment mimics the rugged terrain of the rhino’s hide, while the earthy palette and tactile finish root the sculpture in ecological authenticity. Set against a plain backdrop, the work invites contemplation of the rhinoceros not merely as a biological specimen, but as a symbol of resilience and endangered majesty.
