This is a striking bronze sculpture titled “Heads or Tails” by noted bronzer wildlife artist Dennis Jones. The artwork depicts a dynamic wildlife scene mounted on a polished wooden base with a decorative marble or stone surface.
The sculpture portrays a dramatic hunting scene with two main animal figures:
A mountain lion (or cougar) is shown in mid-leap at the top left of the composition, its body stretched out with powerful tension as it pursues its prey.
A deer (likely a whitetail buck) is positioned at the right side, with distinctive antlers visible as it attempts to escape the predator.
The animals are arranged around a central rocky outcrop with textural details resembling a natural forest environment. The composition creates a sense of movement and suspense, capturing the split-second moment between predator and prey – hence the title “Heads or Tails,” suggesting the uncertain outcome of this natural confrontation.
The bronze has a rich, warm patina with variations in tone that highlight the musculature and movement of the animals. The craftsmanship shows careful attention to anatomical details and the dynamic positioning of the wildlife. The wooden base appears to be custom-shaped to complement the flow of the sculpture above it.
This piece exemplifies the wildlife art tradition popular in Western and nature-themed bronze sculptures.
