Pheasant by Anon Unknown, Bronze , Edition Unknown, 22cm high by 47cm wide by 8cm deep , Animals and Birds , Nature sculpture

Pheasant is a finely crafted bronze sculpture, 22cm high, 47cm wide, and 8cm deep. The work captures the elegance of a male pheasant in motion, strutting forward with quiet confidence. Its head is held high, suggesting alertness and pride, while the long tail flows gracefully behind, balancing the composition with a sense of rhythm and movement.

The bronze medium gives the bird a timeless presence, its polished surface catching light along the contours of the body and tail. The form is naturalistic yet refined, focusing on the bird’s posture and gesture rather than intricate detail. This restraint allows the pheasant’s character to shine through, dignified, energetic, and unmistakably alive.

Compact in scale, the piece carries decorative appeal while still holding sculptural weight. It speaks to the pheasant’s symbolic associations with vitality, grace, and the countryside. The striding stance conveys purpose, as if the bird is caught mid-step, frozen in a fleeting but telling moment of natural beauty.

Whether placed in a domestic or gallery setting, Pheasant offers both elegance and charm. It balances decorative subtlety with sculptural presence, making it a versatile and evocative work.
