Hannibal + Reoccuring Themes/Objects

The actual sculpture is Elk by Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810-1879), a French sculptor and animalière. In Will's dreams/hallucinations, he often sees an elk (aka the ravenstag) which symbolizes the state of his own mind. The stag also shares similar qualities to the Wendigo, a cannibalistic Algonquian mythological spirit. 

Here is a wonderful post I found that goes deeper into this symbolism.
