Highland Cow Bronze

The highland Cow is one of the oldest breeds of rustic beef cattle. They originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Western Islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. A hardy breed. able to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region.

This magnificent Highland Cow is made in solid foundry bronze using the ancient method of lost wax casting. The design is finished by the art of patination where various acids are applied to the surface of the bronze and heat applied to create a deep rich brown patina.  Then bronze is then sealed with a special wax which further enhances the colour and protects the bronze for years to come.
