These natural history bas relief wall plaques are primarily of endangered animals, found in the UK or in the waters around these islands. I am working on several more wildlife wall-hanging sculptures presently, so do check again regularly, there will be more soon.
The plaques can be hung from a hook or used as an architectural feature and cemented permanently into place. They are weatherproof garden sculptures and can be positioned to hang square on or diagonally in many directions. The wire at the back is made from a mixture of polypropylene and stainless steel which will not rust or rot if used outside.

Because plastic bags look very much like jellyfish when floating in the water, Leatherback turtles often ingest them. The turtles throats are cleverly designed with lots of downward pointing spikes inside to keep the jellyfish inside their stomachs, but also prevents the turtles from spitting out the plastic bags.
