Alligator bronze memorial sculpture - limited availability

A distinctive memorial sculpture with a powerful character

This bronze alligator can create a striking remembrance of someone with a strong personality or a particular love of animals, nature or water. The long, low body, textured skin, powerful legs and open mouth are carefully modelled. Its elongated form can work especially well on a broader memorial setting where the sculpture has room to be seen from several angles.

The symbolism of the alligator

The alligator can be associated with strength, vigilance, perseverance and adaptability. As a memorial motif, these qualities may reflect the character of someone you remember. The connection can also be more personal, perhaps through travel, wildlife, a particular landscape or a life spent close to water.

• A distinctive memorial sculpture for a personal place of remembrance
• Suitable for remembering someone with a strong connection to nature, animals or water
• Can be placed on a plinth, column or memorial
• A fixing point on the underside allows secure installation

Traditional bronze casting and hand finishing

The sculpture is fully modelled in three dimensions, making the form and surface detail visible from different viewpoints. The bronze is produced using the traditional lost-wax casting process, also known as cire perdue. A wax model is made first. Once the wax has been removed from the mould, the resulting space is filled with molten bronze. Each piece is then finished and patinated by hand. Small variations in colour and surface finish are a natural part of this craft process and give every sculpture its own character.

How bronze naturally changes over time

Bronze is suitable for long-term placement indoors and outdoors. With exposure to weather and time, the surface may gradually develop a natural patina. This changes the appearance without compromising the bronze itself. If you wish to retain the original bronze tone for as long as possible, the surface can be treated periodically with a suitable bronze wax.
