Aegypius monachus — 1:20 Scale Hand-Painted Resin Replica

The largest bird of prey in Europe, with a wingspan approaching three metres. Once close to disappearing from Spain, the cinereous vulture survives today in a handful of Iberian strongholds. The sculpture captures the hunched, heavy-shouldered posture of a bird at rest, with the ruff of pale down that frames the bare head.

About this piece

Modelled by hand in heat-hardened clay over a wire armature, moulded in silicone and cast in polyurethane resin. Every copy is cleaned, retouched and painted by hand in acrylics, so no two pieces are ever strictly identical.
