Penguin Miniature EDMIN08 EDGE sculpture by Matt Buckley

Miniature Penguin by Matt Buckley - from the EDGE contemporary sculpture 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.

Cast using the same marble based stone material and painted in the same way, this amazing high precision miniature is virtually identical to the spectacular full size original sculpture. Perfect for collectors who love Matt Buckley's innovative sculptures but have limited display space.

This miniature Penguin sculpture is supplied in a matt black lidded gift box adorned with a silver foil logo.
