A hand-carved soapstone sculpture depicting a family group of deer. The composition features a central stag with branched antlers in a standing pose, positioned above two smaller deer shown in a recumbent or resting position. The figures are integrated into a naturalistic stone base. The sculpture is crafted from multi-tonal soapstone with natural mottled variations in shades of cream, tan, and russet brown. The carving displays stylised features characteristic of mid-20th-century decorative stone animal figures.
