Tyrannosaurus Rex Bust Emerald Gold Glow by Edge Sculpture EDB15
Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American Museum of Natural History, named Tyrannosaurus Rex in 1905.
The genetic name is derived from the Greek words tyrannos, meaning “tyrant” and sauros, meaning “lizard”.
Osborn used the latin word “Rex”, meaning “king”, for the specific name. The full binomial therefore translates to “tyrant lizard the king” or “King Tyrant Lizard”, emhasising the animal’s size and perceived dominance over other species of the time.
Each sculpture has been originally sculpted from clay, which allows the sculptor to be freer, giving the pieces the dynamic and organic fee, stylised by Edge Sculpture. The finished clay sculp ‘masters’ are then taken to be moulded, and each subsequent piece has been carefully hand cast from this mould using ceramic polystone, which allows for faithful reproduction of detail and texture applied to the original sculpt. the finishing touch is the skilful application of hand painting and finishing, which brings the sculpt to life. The end result is a centre piece and talking point in anyone’s living room!
Matt Buckley started off his sculpting career over 20 years ago having been afforded the opportunity to hone his craft by following in the footsteps of his step father, Robert Harrop, by working on the ‘Country Companions’ and later named ‘Doggie People’ range which have resided successfully to this day within the ‘giftware’ and ‘collectible’ industry for well over 25 years themselves.
