The athlete is captured in the split‑second coil before release, his entire body arranged in a taut spiral of potential energy. This particular sculpture has a more masculine physique and classical face than other reproductions online.

Most likely this sculpture was made in the 1950s as seen from the aging and patina of the male and the spotting on the base. The male figure is made out of plaster while the base is made out of painted wood.

VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION. No chips, no cracks, no broken pieces. The beautiful patina of the male figure is striking because of its many years of aging. The wooden base shows spotting as seen in the photos.
