Part of a greyhound’s charm is in that unmistakable outline. Here, the long nose and curve of the neck draw the eye first. Look a little closer and you’ll see how the bronze tones catch the raised details of the face and ears, giving the dark finish real depth.

We’d give this hound a spot near the end of a bookshelf, facing into the room so you can enjoy the profile in passing. At 26 cm tall and just 8 cm deep, it would sit equally well on a narrow hall console. A thoughtful gift for someone with a soft spot for sighthounds.
