Panther, schwarz staffiert, H 17 cm

The sculpting really captures that sense of coiled energy—you can almost feel the panther about to spring. The black glaze with the highlighted details makes it look far more expensive than it is, and the 17 cm height is perfect for a bookshelf.

I’ve been admiring the way the panther’s weight is balanced in the hindquarters—it really shows the 1921 design’s focus on tension. The matte black finish picks up light nicely without being shiny.

The sculpted posture really captures that sense of power and motion, exactly as Oehme intended back in 1921. At 17 cm it’s a solid little centerpiece, and the black finish brings out every muscle line in the panther’s stance.
