My natural history sculptures, and bas relief wall plaques, are primarily of endangered animals, found in or around the UK, or ones like the buzzard which have made a comeback. I am working on several more wildlife sculptures presently so do check regularly, there will be more soon.
              

The Hare In The Lane wall hanging sculpture by Ama Menec with copper wash decoration.     'The Hare In The Lane' wall hanging sculpture of a brown hare by Devon sculptor Ama Menec.    Hare in the Lane with electric blue glaze, as if caught in the glare of headlights.

'The Hare In The Lane' Wall Sculpture 25cm (10") by 25cm (10"). Suitable for indoor or outdoor spaces. £85 each plus postage or shipping. Check availability. I drove home from the studio after midnight and found myself surprising a brown hare; the first I'd seen in more than 10 years here. I had forgotten how they zigzag as they run, and being in a Devon lane with its high, verdant 'Cornish hedges' the hare was unable to get out of the lane for a good half mile.

If you'd like to know more about Hares, and how you can help them survive, please do visit the Hare Preservation Trust website: www.hare-preservation-trust.co.uk

 Moose Cow (European Elk) Wall Sculpture 25cm (10") by 25cm (10"). Suitable for indoor or outdoor spaces. £75 each plus postage or shipping. Check availability. I'm so excited that Elk have been recently re-introduced to north east Scotland after an absence of 4,000 years.

 Wolf and Raven Wall Plaque 25cm (10") by 25cm (10") wall hanging sculpture. Suitable for indoor or outdoor spaces, available in a range of colours and glaze textures. £85 each plus postage or shipping. Check availability. I'm fascinated by the cross species symbiotic hunting relationship between the wolf and the raven, which may well have enabled early humans to form a similar hunting relationship with wolves. I'm looking forward to finding out if the wolves being re-introduced to Scotland strike up a hunting partnership with the local ravens.

These sometimes enormous creatures, (a few as big as a small car), although rarely seen, swim in waters around the British Isles feeding on jellyfish. 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.

Not endangered due to their adaptability and great skill at hunting. Never the less, I'm fascinated by the beauty and intelligence of cephalopods. 

The wall plaques can be hung from a hook or used as an architectural feature in a wall 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.

Prices are for UK Sterling. For any other currencies please feel free to use the currency converter link provided on the 'How To Buy' page. Postage within the UK is 20% of the cost of the sculpture.
All the sculptures
on this page are suitable for indoor and outdoor spaces, and all wall plaques have my makers seal on the back. All these sculptures are weather resistant and have been treated with a sealant to resist water penetration and so deter frost damage. They should not however be placed directly in water, particularly if there is any likelihood of the water freezing, as this may damage them over time.
