Leopard figures Low-poly 3D model

Bronze sculpture of a leopard in a seated position. It features a textured surface with raised spots representing the leopard’s coat pattern. The head is detailed with expressive eyes, prominent whiskers, and a slightly open mouth, giving it a lifelike yet stylized appearance. The tail is curled, and the overall design reflects intricate craftsmanship, typical of Benin art. Leopard are a significant symbol in the art and culture of the ancient Benin Kingdom, located in present-day Edo State, Nigeria. Leopards are emblematic of power, strength, and authority, and they are often associated with the Oba (king) of Benin, who is considered the apex predator in his domain, much like the leopard in the animal kingdom.
