This small Florida wood carving combines human and panther features. Its survival is notable because wood rarely endures for long periods; the carved details remain visible across the surface.
How to use the model
Examine the work from more than one angle.
Use the 3D view to inspect the overall form, then zoom in to compare surface, joins, and tool marks. Lighting controls can make shallow carving and material changes easier to see.
