"Sabre Tooth Tiger Skull"

 Prior to the last Ice Age, the saber tooth tiger (smilodon fatalis) roamed the area that today is Southern California.  This tiger was a relentless and skillful predator, hunting camels, sloths and horses. This fine bronze was cast directly from a saber tooth tiger skull excavated from the La Brea Tar Pits.  This particular skull was part of a set of completely intact fossilized remains pulled from the tar pit in the 1990's.  Using the Carbon 14 dating process, this skull was estimated to be at least 20,000 years old. Art Bronze borrowed the skull and carefully created a mold of it that succeeded in capturing all of the fine details of the tiger's skull, jaws and teeth.  It is so lifelike that the jaw is actually movable!  Please click on the thumbnail images above to see additional views. Through the use of expert mold-making and "lost wax" casting, we have brought this 20,000 year old saber tooth tiger back to life as a rare and beautiful work of art available exclusively from Art Bronze. We have cast this Saber Tooth Tiger Skull in our own California art foundry using 35 lbs. of solid bronze.  The sculpture is finished with a rich patina in tones of brown, with the tiger's bronze teeth polished to a high gloss.  Mounted onto a handsome bronze base, the bronze skull stands 13" high by 14" wide.  We have added our foundry seal to the bronze base. This is a fine bronze sculpture, made to the highest standards.  We guarantee your satisfaction. For more information or to arrange international shipment, please send email to info@artbronze.com or call us at 818.841.7979.
