Wooden platypus

$35.00

A medium-sized wooden duck-billed platypus companion created for Secrets of the Photocopier (a recent exhibition at platform, Melbourne).

This little egg-laying mammal from the family ornithorhynchidae seeks a new home now that the exhibition has drawn to a close. She is a one of a kind piece, completely made by hand. Cut and shaped with the aid of a jigsaw and a piece of sandpaper, from MDF. Painted in white, front, sides and back, she is freestanding. Her coat and face markings have been drawn on by hand with a beloved black felt tip pen.

Suitable for your shelf, to guard your books or mind your nightstand, this platypus will be happy anywhere.

All animals come well wrapped to ensure they arrive safe and sound.

Platypus proportions:
10 cm (H) X 27 cm (W) X 1.2 cm (D)

Platypus particulars:
A unique mammal, with a velvety waterproof coat, it makes its home in a branched tunnel in the riverbank, complete with vegetation-lined nesting chambers.

Catch a glimpse of her in her original habitat here.
