Triceratops is a figurative bronze sculpture mounted on a green marble base, measuring 20 cm high, 35 cm wide, and 20 cm deep. The piece presents an expressive interpretation of the prehistoric creature, blending stylization with recognizable form.

The triceratops retains its key features, the broad frill, three horns, and powerful stance, yet departs from realism through its bold, sculptural treatment. The surface is uneven and textured, with moulded ridges and rough contours that emphasize the creature’s mass and movement. This expressive finish gives the bronze a sense of vitality and strength, capturing the energy of the animal rather than its precise anatomy.

The dinosaur stands slightly hunched, turning to the side as if caught mid-motion. On one side, its front and back legs merge together, while on the other, they stretch apart, creating a dynamic asymmetry. The thick, heavy tail drags along the ground, grounding the form and balancing the composition.

The polished green marble base contrasts beautifully with the textured bronze, adding structure and refinement. Together, they create a striking interplay between the organic and the sculptural.

Triceratops transforms a prehistoric subject into a work of expressive form and movement. Its tactile surface and stylized design evoke both the raw power and enduring mystery of ancient life, making it a commanding yet compact piece of modern bronze artistry.
