Product information "Roman: Sculpture 'Bear', bronze version"
In the 16th century, the Spanish brought bullfighting to the New World. However, the Mexicans quickly changed the rules and sent the bull to a chained grizzly in the arena. The poet Don José de la Vega transferred this image to the events at the Amsterdam Stock Exchange in 1688. Since then, the bull and bear have been as much a part of the world of shares as the Dow Jones and Wall Street. Cast using the lost wax technique. Limited edition of 199 copies, numbered and signed. Size 26 x 14 x 10 cm (W/H/D). Weight approx. 3.1 kg.
