Snowflake Baby Gorilla

Snowflake Baby Gorilla - Edge Sculpture by Matt Buckley

Designed and sculptured in England by Matt Buckley at his studio in Shropshire. The mix of form, light and texture gives a unique feel to each individual piece. Each Edge sculpture has been originally sculptured from clay, and then a case & mould developed to ensure faithful reproduction with a special blend of marble stone casting. Hand finished and skilfully painted to create a statement piece.

Snowflake was a Western Lowland Gorilla captured as a baby by a farmer in the Rio Muni region in Spanish Guinea on 1st October 1966. The rest of Snowflake's Gorilla group, who were all traditional in colour, were killed. He died in captivity at the Barcelona Zoo on 24th November 2003, aged approximately 38 to 40 years old. Snowflake is the only known white or albino Gorilla recorded.
