Classic Bronze White Rhino Head Sculpture on marble Base
Height = 23,5cm
with sculpture name ‘Storm’ cast on inside back.
This rhino head sculpture is of a rhino named Storm whose mother was killed by poachers in 2012, and this sculpture has the unique nicked left ear Storm is recognized by.
He is the first male rhino raised in captivity that successfully bred with another rhino orphan named Wyntir, and together they had Blizzy, the first rhino born in captivity from rescued orphans, a truly historic event.
Storm lives at Care For Wild Rhino Sanctuary which is the largest rhino sanctuary in the world, founded by Petronel Nieuwoudt in 2011.
The bronze collection is cast in the age old ‘lost wax’ bronze casting process that dates back thousands of years. Each sculpture is expertly rendered and then finished by hand to create the unique details of each piece.
The silver sculptures are bronze sculptures that have been silver plated and then painstakingly detailed by hand with black enamelling that is lead free, scratch resistant and environmentally friendly.
The bronze sculptures are suitable for indoors and outdoors.
The silver-plated bronzes are suited to indoors only. No chemical cleaners are recommended, only dust with a soft cloth when needed or wipe with a soft, soapy cloth and then dry the sculpture,
if it becomes soiled

All our sculptures are of the finest quality and treated with protective coatings, to ensure many years of enjoyment !
Though rhinos are often solitary, they do occasionally form groups. Called crashes, these groups are made up of a female and her offspring. A dominant male rules over an area of land. The male will allow some sub-dominate males to live on his territory. Females roam freely around several different territories.
