A signed and numbered print of "Sentinels" by British-Kenyan wildlife artist Simon Combes (1940-2004) is accompanied by a carved wooden giraffe sculpture. The print is numbered 179/550, with the artist's signature in the lower margin and a separate printed signature and 1988 copyright inscription within the image. Giraffes stand closely together beneath the spreading canopy of an acacia tree, their patterned necks rising against the open sky. Fine, pale grasses fill the foreground, and the tree's dark branching structure frames the animals. The print is matted and framed in a brown wooden frame, measuring approximately 31.75" x 24" overall. The accompanying sculpture echoes the subject with an elongated neck, spotted body, and four slender legs mounted on a base.
