The silver plated leopard mother and cubs were created by renowned D'Argenta artist, Ricardo del Rio. Ever alert, the leopardess lies casually upon a rock as her cubs crawl playfully under her protective gaze. The sculpture's detail is impressive. From the rendition of the leopard's attitude to the mottled spots on its fur, this piece is beautifully crafted. Weighs an impressive 3.5 lbs and measures 5.12 X 4.33 inches.
