Artist's Description
The eternal being ... as it lives in us, also lives in every animal.
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
* ------------------------------ *
This life-sized, golden winged springbok, commonly called a gazelle, is on the southwest corner above the entrance of the South African Embassy (the South African House) on the eastern side of Trafalgar Square in London. The site is actually a former hotel, acquired in by South Africa in the 1930's.
The springbok is the national animal, and symbol, of South Africa. It is South Africa's fastest antelope, able to reach speeds of more than 80km/h. This elegant mammal is a vegetarian. It is light on its feet, and got its name due to the nature of its travel: it springs in a forward motion of jumps ( in Afrikaans, called pronk).
It was built between 1931-1933 in the Art Deco style, designed by Sir Herbert Baker and Alexander Thomson Scott, and sculpted by Sir Charles Wheeler.
