The Stag

This is the stag bronze sculpture that was in our home through all our years.

It used to have only one antler. The other got lost/broken along the way. My Dad had one of his aquaintances/colleagues carve a new one out of wood, then cast it and another mate out of some lighter metal material. So now there is a single bronze one in a box with the wooden carving of the new one, and the statue has two "replacement" antlers.

This came from my mothers home of origin. The leaf the stag is reaching for used to be straight up. My mother, in her earlier years, felt sorry for the poor stag, so she bent the leaf down so that he could reach it.

Ronald was the only of my siblings to ask for it when I notified them that it was amongst the treasures that came to me, so he has taken it for his home. We can all enjoy it when we visit him.
