Carved from rich rosewood and mounted on a large black stand with faceted edges, Hans Huggler-Wyss’ Centaur sculpture is a powerful depiction of the half-man, half-horse mythological creature. The centaur carries a large spear that rests upon his right shoulder as he leans backwards. The level of detail and the quality of the carving makes this piece an extraordinary example of the work of Huggler-Wyss.
