Origin - Manticore 24” Cinemaquette Statue
With the body of a monkey, the venomous tail of a scorpion, bat-like wings, and an elder human face, Manticore was described as an evil predator in Persian legend, similar to the Egyptian Sphinx.
Manticores are a gentle and cryptic species. They can’t speak, but inherently possess the power of mind-reading, to predict what happens next. The ancient Manticores were found in stagnant forests of the old world. Nowadays, the living ones are only about 12 inches tall, their wings degraded, and their tails rendered harmless, their function more for balancing their bodies. They eat mainly the top leaves of aerial cage trees, together with fruit, buds, flowers and nuts.
The first in Cinemaquette’s ‘Origin' series, which represents the combination of imaginary and authentic animals from nature, the Manticore sits approximately 24” in height and is set upon a themed display antique base. Designed by artist David Zhou, each piece is hand signed on the underside of the base. With exquisitely detailed paintwork and a real meal ring which has been engraved with the edition number, this extraordinary piece is a must for any serious collector.
