Penguin - Aurora Australis - Limited Edition EDGE Sculpture ED12AU

A spectacular multi-colour Limited Edition release of Matt Buckley's Emperor Penguin sculpture.

Endearing penguin sculpture in a contemporary style by Matt Buckley - part of the EDGE collection. Native to Antarctica the Emperor Penguin is instantly recognisable with its upright and stately bearing, enhanced by its 'dinner jacket' style feather colouring. A flightless bird that feeds mainly on fish, the penguin is an expert swimmer. A generous layer of body fat allows them to survive temperatures down to below -40 degrees C - they will huddle together for warmth, sometimes in groups of thousands. In recent years their cute looks and endearing walk have helped penguins come to the fore of popular culture through animated films like Happy Feet and Madagascar amongst others. Matt Buckley's superb sculpture shows an Emperor Penguin in a classic standing pose with a small infant sheltering at its feet.

A Limited Edition of just 100 pieces in a special rainbow colouring, each personally signed on the base by sculptor Matt Buckley and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity.

UPDATE: now sold out at the publisher, we have a few remaining.
