Vintage hand-crafted leopard (or jaguar) sculpture featuring a papier-mâché or lightweight molded body covered in hand-painted leather or hide. This striking folk art piece has inset glass or acrylic eyes, inserted whiskers, and individually formed teeth, giving it a wonderfully expressive and lifelike appearance.
The sculpture is finished in warm brown tones with hand-painted black spotted markings and depicts a prowling big cat with an open mouth. The realistic facial features and handcrafted details make it an eye-catching decorative piece for collectors of folk art, safari décor, wildlife art, or exotic animal sculptures.
Condition is good vintage with age-appropriate wear. There is light surface wear, minor scuffing, a small area of wear near one eye, some natural age-related cracking to the covering material, wear to the bottoms of the feet from display, and one tooth appears to have a chipped tip. The whiskers are present, and the sculpture displays beautifully. Please review all photos as they are part of the description.
A unique handcrafted statement piece that would look great in a lodge, library, eclectic home, or wildlife-themed collection.
