Bronze Antique Inspired Frolicking Stag Sculpture.Ancient Animal Based On A 2000 Year Old Mummy Find.For Outside In the Garden or Yard, as well as Indoors Inside Interior Decoration. By the Mystic Sculptor Timothy Nimmo and is described..
“This is Timothy`s interpretation of an ancient Scythian tattoo found on a 2000 + year old mummy. The tattoo showed a stag with strangely twisted hind quarters. An Lakota holy man and archaeologist rendered his opinion that it was a depiction of a creation myth. He thought it might be showing the moment when the Great Spirit created the first stag. He is “being born” in the sky, transitioning from the spirit realm into the physical world. That may not be what the Scythians meant, but that explanation clicked with Timothy and his sense of wonderment and magic about deer. He thought, “What if an ancient man witnessed this in person, or by a dream or vision? How would he have explained this revelation to his tribe? What would he have sculpted as a relic to show future generations, that his vision might become part of their larger myth?”
The image`s roots are in ancient man; yet the style is rather modern. He elected to bring the piece to a conceptual full circle by using a patina scheme evoking the cave painting of early man.
The truncated pyramid of the base (as in many ancient cultures) is symbolic of the earth and all things physical and mortal. So the stag is being born in spirit world above, and descending to the physical world below.

- The ArtParkS Guarentee
All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee. - How does ArtParkS protect you?
