Four-tusked Elephant, reconstructed at 1:20 scale and hand-painted in polyurethane resin. 290 × 150 mm. Sculpted by J. Miguel Aparicio, made to order.
A long-jawed proboscidean of the Miocene, carrying a second pair of tusks in the lower jaw as well as the upper pair — an arrangement with no modern parallel. The elongated mandible gives the animal a silhouette quite unlike any living elephant, and at 29 centimetres this is one of the larger pieces in the Miocene series.
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.
