Cave Hyena, reconstructed at 1:20 scale and hand-painted in polyurethane resin. 100 × 65 mm. Sculpted by J. Miguel Aparicio, made to order.
The Ice Age subspecies of the spotted hyena, larger and more robust than the African form and a major accumulator of the bone assemblages found in European caves. The sloping back and heavy forequarters are reproduced faithfully; this was an animal built to carry carcasses over distance.
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.
Made to order. Each casting is finished individually, so please allow time for preparation before dispatch.
