Reverse description
The amber-coloured eyes convey the wolf`s intelligence and strength in this reverse design by Canadian artist Curtis Atwater. Complex engraving captures the wild canine`s likeness in remarkable detail, whether it`s the fine whiskers protruding from its muzzle or the textured appearance of the thick fur. Special emphasis is placed on the eyes,where an enamel effect mimics the glossy look of a traditional paint application but with far more colour variation, which gives each iris a more life-like appearance. The design is further enhanced by glow-in-the-dark technology, which evokes the luminous glow of the wolf`s eyes when encountered in low-light conditions.
