School Campus Mascot Pitt Panther Statue BOK1-577

The Pitt Panther statue represents the official mascot of the University of Pittsburgh, which has four campuses: Pitt-Bradford, Pitt-Greensburg, Pitt-Johnstown, and Pitt-Titusville. Each campus’s Black Panther sculptures are slightly different, but they all feature a Black Panther theme that reflects the school’s pride and character.

Pitt Panther Statue More Detail:

The 10.5-foot-long panther outside wouldiam Pitt Union is cast in solid bronze by sculptor Miriani Guido of Parma, Italy, in a sleek, muscular tone. With one paw raised, the Panther appears ready to pounce on an unsuspecting foe. The Panther, the University of Pittsburgh’s athletic mascot, is one of four Pittsburgh Panther statues on or near the University of Pittsburgh campus in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As many as 20 physical images of the Panthers could now be found in and around the University of Pittsburgh’s campus and athletic facilities.

The Symbolism of The Panther Sculpture:

The Panther was chosen as the University of Pittsburgh’s mascot because of its intimidating power, its native nature to the Pittsburgh area, and its status as a noble animal since ancient times, but most importantly, it was chosen because no other university at the time was using it as a mascot. Now, many students at the University of Pittsburgh would rub their noses for good luck before exams or sports games against Pittsburgh rivals. So if you like this Panther sculpture or want to bring good luck to yourself, YouFine could replicate it in 1:1 scale.

Focus on Every Process of Casting:

YouFine gives your panther sculpture a realistic look, and also durability that could be passed down for centuries. On the market, bronze sculptures are basically hollow, but YouFine uses the best quality bronze material, which is hard, corrosion-resistant, and durable. During the casting process, YouFine would also use the most traditional casting process – the lost wax method, which retains a lot of external details and makes the surface smoother and more delicate. The surface of the sculpture is also chemically colored, it would become more classic and antique with the passage of time.
