This model was initially conceived in a larger size in 1929 and reduced in 1930. Eight examples of the smaller version were cast during Pompon's lifetime, all numbered. The same stag, edited by Pompon with the same measurements as the present example, was also cast in sand by the Andro foundry in 12 numbered examples.
