A little fox with a long history: Our bronze sculpture of the mousing fox
The fox brought me joy, but it didn't do justice to its character in modeling clay. So I began the search for a foundry that could cast the small sculpture in bronze. Unfortunately, I discovered that it's easier in Germany to commission a church bell than to have a small sculpture made. The project was put on hold, and every year there would be a small burst of activity where I would research again. Every year, a different address would pop up, and each time, the effort ended with a rejection. Until early 2018, when I finally found a company that agreed to produce the sculpture!
Now it stands before me on the desk: Tense and focused, pointing, as you would only see in a hunting dog. The ears are pricked and fixed on the same point where the nose and eyes are directed. Somewhere under the grass, there was just a faint whimper, and now it's a matter of pinpointing the exact spot to make the perfect pounce! I catch myself time and time again, as I drift away from contemplating work-related problems and suddenly find myself transported to the hunting grounds, with the bronze fox evoking a hunting experience that comes flooding back to memory. A brief but welcome diversion during the often stressful workday!
Each fox is unique because there are always slight variations in the casting process. Not to mention the elaborate post-processing, which makes each piece one of a kind. The figures are individually deburred, finely worked on, and their stance is checked and adjusted. With its size of approximately 15 x 5.5 cm, it is not overly imposing on the desk or shelf, but it is an eye-catching piece that captures the attention of not just hunters. And surely, it is once again a beautiful and quirky gift idea for the hunting partner who seems to have everything.
