Royal Red depicts a bushy fox, sitting on top of a 4 ft. tall pedestal in the median of Boulevard. The sculpture is at Blvd. and 4th, at the NE corner of Stephenson Park.
The sculpture is in a landscaped circular area of the median. The plaque can be found on the south side of the pedestal. The fox's ears are upright and he looks straight ahead. There are several rounded layers of this sculpture, ending with the big tail at the bottom. The inscription can be found on the fox's torso, on his backside.
The brown circular pedestal that is the base is about 3 1/2 ft. tall and about 2 ft. diameter. The fox is about 3 1/2 ft. tall as well. The landscaped area around the sculpture is bordered with bricks.
