“Protection”
is a limited-edition sculpture, by Casey Nadine Banwell the highly Successful International Sculptress..
Casey dedicates her talents creating sculptures that generate funds to protect the species from which the piece is inspired.
“Protection” portrays Pangolin in their natural defence position. Curled into a ball, with a layer of scales forming an impenetrable armour.
The sculpture signifies the fragility of Pangolin and depicts the natural beauty, innocence, and vulnerability of this unique species, as this defence mechanism is no match for man, in fact it leaves the Pangolin wide open to poachers, who can pick up the Pangolin and pop them in a bag. A totally silent crime and relatively untraceable until it is too late for the Pangolin.
Due to poaching by man, its only successful predator, this humble creature has been driven to the brink of extinction before the rest of the world even knows it exists.

More about Casey Nadine Banwell- The ArtParkS Guarantee
All the sculptures on the website are described by the artists themselves, stating the material they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors, they have a guarantee 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 acquire a green patina, usually rather sought after. All can attract moss, lichen, and a greenish 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 guarantee.
Organic material like wood and bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited. You should discuss any guarantee directly with the artist, as this too falls outside our guarantee.

From the moment you place an order and pay ArtParkS, you are protected because half of the payment is immediately used to pay the artist’s deposit, while the other half is retained until the sculpture is delivered safely.
