HERALDIC GRIFFIN RAMPANT SCULPTURE

Commissioned by an alumni of Cambridge University, the griffin is a heraldic symbol of Downing College. It was also the first mythical creature that I’ve sculpted! I had fun with the pose and the outstretched wings. But I never know what to say when I’m occasionally asked whether it is life-sized!

This bronze Griffin bears Tanya’s signature and unique edition number. Your casting of the Griffin sculpture will be personally approved and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

10% of the proceeds from this bronze sculpture support the 'The Dogs Trust', 'David Shepherd Wildlife Trust' and All Creatures Great and Small charities.

Which Material to Choose

Bronze Resin – bronze metal powder is mixed with a resin to create the appearance of foundry bronze metal, but is more affordable and lightweight.

Foundry Bronze  – refers to the poured molten metal that is cast solid or hollow, depending on size, at a bronze foundry (using the traditional lost wax process). It is more robust and will appreciate in value.

This Heraldic Griffin Rampant statue is sculpted by the artist Tanya Russell, who is well known for her life-like wildlife and animal sculptures. Tanya has a passion for improving the welfare of the animals she sculpts and 10% of all proceeds from the Griffin statue will go to the ‘David Shepherd Wildlife Trust’, a charity that fights for greater legal protection of endangered species.

The Griffin is a limited edition sculpture, and your piece will be a superb recreation of the original sculpture, taken from a mould. Your bronze Griffin sculpture can be cast in Bronze Resin or Foundry Bronze metal depending on which material you prefer.

How The Sculpture Was Made

The Heraldic Griffin sculpture was modelled in wax, over a steel and aluminium armature for support. After the Griffin statue was finished a rubber mould was taken, with ‘keys’ placed in the rubber to ensure proper positioning. Then a shell of fibreglass was applied, to protect the mould and support it during the casting process.
