Although best known for his dynamic depictions of the hare, inspired by the Egyptian symbol of life and the Chinese symbol of immortality, Flanagan's stable of creatures have been taken from real life and imbued with another-worldly quality of significance and magical realism. Hares, horses, elephants, and dogs were moulded in clay and cast into bronze throughout the 1980s and beyond.

Flanagan returned to bronze after a period of working with other media, such as sand, concrete, rope, and wood, considering the `beautiful' quality of this material to be most compatible with the creation of animalistic sculpture. This medium allowed him to fully explore the anthropomorphic quality of his favoured creatures, creating a smooth but textural surface after modelling them from clay. The artist's life size, and often monumental, animals joyfully perform many tasks and have many qualities; some play musical instruments. In the present work, the has been imbued with a musical personality all of its own.

Another cast of this sculpture is in the collection of The Peterborough Sculpture Trust.
