Athena Jahantigh is an Iranian-born, France-based artist celebrated for uniting cultural heritage with contemporary artistry. Her animal sculptures reinterpret ancient iconography through a modern lens, giving them a refined, museum-worthy presence for luxury interiors. Collectors value her work for its narrative depth and sculptural restraint—qualities that elevate any home décor setting.

Small Bull Shiga is a grey ceramic animal sculpture that distills strength into a calm, architectural silhouette. It arrives with a Certificate of Authenticity, affirming provenance. The piece embodies Jahantigh’s signature language—sensual, hieratic forms rooted in Persian tradition—making it a meaningful addition to a curated collection.

Place it on a stable surface such as a console, sideboard, mantel, or bookshelf where the contours can be viewed in the round. Allow a clean backdrop and a little negative space so light can graze the form; uplighting or a soft spotlight enhances the grey finish. It stands beautifully solo, or as the anchor to a vignette with books, travertine, or warm wood accents.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For occasional cleaning, use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately—avoid abrasives, chemical cleaners, and scouring pads. Handle with clean, dry hands and consider felt pads beneath the base to protect both the sculpture and your surface.

Yes. As a handcrafted ceramic, subtle differences in tone, texture, and contour are part of the artwork’s character and evidence of the artist’s process. These natural nuances ensure your Small Bull Shiga is unique while remaining true to the artist’s intent.

Display indoors, away from edges and direct heat sources such as radiators or active fireplaces. Indirect natural light is ideal; prolonged, intense sunlight or rapid temperature changes are not recommended for fine ceramics. In busy zones, position the piece on a secure surface with sufficient clearance to prevent accidental contact.
