The presentation of the African wild boar — with a long mane on its back — cha-racterised by the warts is a sculptural feat: the ugliness of its strange appea-rance is almost strikingly beautiful. The wart-like growths make this creature unique. Nature has created its own oddities everywhere; the task of man is not only to hunt it down for its tusk, but also to find the place of the animal and themselves in the unity of Creation.
