A calf strays from a moving herd, panics when it notices, and runs to catch up before its matriarch comes back to shepherd it in with her trunk. Carol Bryant witnessed the moment on safari and has now cast it twice, once in resin at 80 cm, and here in bronze at 40 cm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBronze changes the character of the piece slightly. The metal gives the calf's dash more weight and a harder edge to the movement, while still carrying the urgency of the original scene. At this size, the sculpture suits a shelf, a side table or a smaller garden setting where the full-size resin version would overwhelm the space. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maquette forms part of '\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/benguelacove.co.za\/pages\/carol-bryant-sculpture-artist-exhibition\" title=\"Where the wild things come to rest\"\u003eWhere the wild things come to rest\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e', Carol Bryant's exhibition at Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate, running from 2 October 2026 to 31 March 2027.

Crossing our path they were led by the matriarch. This little elephant was left behind. Minutes later, when he realised this, he broke into a panicky run. The matriarch heard his squeal, came to meet him and gave him a cuff with her trunk before tucking him in under her legs.
