About the Artwork

Little Young Baby Cub Rhino sculpture. Small Ceramic Black Rhinoceros statuette, for Sale for Indoors Inside Interior Display by the Remarkable Wild Life Artist Lesley Prickett.
This sculpture is available to order (it will take approximately 6 – 8 weeks for the whole process.) The sculpture is hand built from a highly grogged, earthenware clay. It is then fired in an electric kiln and given a second firing in a Raku kiln and “smoked” in a container to give it its matt, earthy appearance. Each sculpture is similar but unique.

Artist Comment

This is a Black Rhino calf. Black rhino have pointy, prehensile top lips (this baby has it`s top lip tucked into its mouth which is quite usual) which they use to select the twigs and leaves which constitute its diet. As black rhino feed on bushes their stance is rather "upright", with their heads held higher than white rhinos, whose posture is typically head down to the grass on which they graze. Black rhinos are smaller than the while rhinos, but can be very aggressive. Although I have seen rhino in the wild, this one is based on a calf which was born at Howletts in Kent, UK a few years ago.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
