Man and Bull – Bronze Sculpture

Product Overview

The man and bull – bronze sculpture belongs to TYART’s figure collection: a herdsman resting across the back of a bull, dark patina, hollow-cast in bronze by the traditional lost-wax method and hand-finished with a warm brown patina. At 180 × 180 × 100 mm, it is sized for desks, shelves and console tops.

The low, wide silhouette suits coffee tables and sideboards; the dark patina makes the group read as a single sculpture from across the room.

The patina is built up in layers and sealed, which means tone varies slightly from piece to piece — the mark of genuine hand finishing rather than a sprayed imitation. On a desk, shelf or console top, it holds its own without competing with the furniture around it, and it needs no more care than an occasional soft-cloth dusting.

Design Inspiration: Living with Animals

China adds its own beloved scene — the herdboy and his beast — a symbol of the good, simple life, of harmony between people and nature (moreover the ox carries diligence and honest gain). Placed in a study or living room, the sculpture speaks of patience, labor and companionship — a grounded presence in a busy home.

Craftsmanship: Lost-Wax Casting and Hand Patina

Every sculpture is hollow-cast in bronze by the traditional lost-wax method: a wax model is taken from the original master, encased in a ceramic shell, burnt out and replaced with molten bronze. The raw casting is cleaned, welded and refined entirely by hand before the patina is applied layer by layer and sealed. Because the patina is finished by hand, each piece varies slightly in tone and depth — a mark of genuine cast bronze rather than a sprayed imitation.

Man and animal are cast together as one hollow piece; the internal geometry and the wide animal stance are checked for stability on everyday display surfaces.

Lead time depends on size; we confirm it together with the quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are the man-and-animal models sold as a set?

Each model — bull, horse, sheep — is sold separately so you can choose the animal that fits the project. They share scale and finish, so a group of two or three reads as one series.

2. Is the rough surface a casting flaw?

No — the texture is intentional, worked into the wax by hand to keep the pastoral, hand-modeled feel. Sealing protects the surface while preserving the character.

3. Can I order this piece in a different color?

Yes. The finish shown is the standard patina of this model, but the same sculpture can be produced in other tones — warm brown, antique gold, verdigris green or a custom two-tone patina. Hand patina is our standard process, so an alternative finish does not significantly affect lead time.

4. What is the MOQ?

We work with both single-piece orders and bulk project orders. Contact us with your quantity and destination port for an accurate quotation and lead time.

5. How is the sculpture packed for shipping?

Each piece is wrapped in protective foam and packed in a reinforced export carton; larger pieces travel in a foam-lined wooden crate. Wooden crates are standard for project shipments.
