This is a dark bronze sculpture of a cougar crouched on a wooden block. The animal’s muscles are tight, its tail curled, and its front paws pressed flat. The block it rests on looks rough, with visible grain. The sculpture’s smooth curves show the animal’s power without showing teeth or claws. It’s made to look real but also strong and still.
