Note:

The size of the sculpture and the base of this bronze including the feet are at variance with the work shown as LS6103!

Lucas SITHOLE base of bronze cast LS6102.1

Base of bronze LS6102.1 showing cast was of the wooden sculpture including original base in wood

The original wood sculpture LS6102 is most likely incorporated and reworked by the artist into LS6103 after damage from the casting processes for LS6102
