DODO (Raphus cucullatus)

 

Dodo Commission

This life size dodo recreation is finished to a high standard and is shown in the standard pose, walking and looking over it's left shoulder. Other poses are possible but will need to be commissioned specially. These dodo recreations are made exclusively on a commission only basis, numbered and recorded individually.

A limited number will be produced each year to maintain the excellent quality and ensure these recreations will never be mass produced.

Please contact me to commission a dodo - price on application.


DODO RECREATION No. 1
The first dodo recreation has been in a very exclusive  large private collection for the first six months, but now I can proudly say it is on stand for public viewing at  Kendal museum, station Road Kendal, LA9 6BT  01539 721374 www.kendalmuseum.org.uk
