Platypus sculpture top in seed wood, Platypus

Who is a mammal that lays eggs (yes, it is possible), breastfeeds its young by the skin because it has no udders, has a real duck beak, and in addition has poisonous stingers on its paws? Answer: the platypus!
This incredible creature endemic to Australia fascinates me, so I created with a large African seed my 1st platypus, which I called... Platypus.

Materials: pumpkin nut wood or African jatoba, superfine wood cellulose, acrylic paint and varnish.

Unique piece signed.

Dimensions about L18 top x D9 x H5 cm
