JOUSTING NARWHALS Sculpture by JOHN PERRY 14in long Pellucida on burl base Statue

The Narwhal is thought to have given rise to the myth of the unicorn. Narwhal tusks found their way into mediaeval Europe where unscrupulous traders sold them as the horn of the mystical four legged beast. The real Narwhal is perhaps more amazing than any unicorn. The males fight using their tusks like medieval knights with lances, some say ritually others say sometimes to the death. This piece represents this amazing scenario. The tusk, actually a modified incisor tooth, almost always occurs in the male. Rarely, males have two tusks. Each Narwhal is about 6 inches long (excluding the horn) and, mounted on its polished burlwood base, stands about 7 inches tall and 14 inches long. It is molded of Pellucida, our proprietary resin compound that resembles Bisque porcelain but is more durable. The horn is detachable as they sometimes get broken, or amazingly frequently, get chewed by cats. It comes with a spare horn. PLEASE NOTE: these photos are of illustrative samples only. Each burl is a piece of nature's art, so the one you will receive will be different, but of similar size and comparable beauty. It is SIGNED and comes with a CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. We usually ship very quickly, sometimes even the same day if the order comes in early, otherwise it is nearly always the next day, the exceptions being Mondays when, because of the number of orders coming in from the weekend, some orders may not get shipped until Tuesday.
