Gorilla Bust - White - EDGE Sculpture EDB05W

Spectacular Gorilla bust by Matt Buckley - from the EDGE contemporary sculpture collection.  Natives of the forests of central Africa, Gorillas are our closest cousins sharing over 98% of our DNA. They exhibit many human traits and emotions and even make their own tools. These intelligent and thoughtful animals have been under threat some time but are now benefiting from a number of successful WWF conservation initiatives. Great apes like the gorilla have been part of popular culture for many years and are probably best known for their part in films like King Kong, Planet of the Apes, Tarzan and The Jungle Book. Matt Buckley's magnificent sculpture brings the spirit of this charismatic creature into our homes.
