A BRONZE MYTHICAL BEAST

Sturdily cast with a hollow interior, the lithe body in a seated pose, the muscles in its powerful thighs rippling beneath its skin, the strong shoulder blades rising above its pronounced spine, the single-horned head turned to the right, with bulging eyes and jaws agape revealing sharp fangs and pointed tongue, each of the paws ending in sharp claws.
