Lunging is a great verb to describe the stance of this bull. At 13" tall it's an impressive size. For those with sensibilities to bull parts, we took this photo to show that this bull has not been neutered. (Yes, we've had bulls returned to us because of having all their parts!) The core of the bull is metal. The exterior has been electroplated with a life-long finish of copperplate. The base is 7-3/4" diameter. It is 1" high so you could have a 3/4" flexible plaque adhered to it with 1 or 2 lines of words. There is a bear that was designed to go with this bull. So, if you want a bull and bear you can!.
