Royal Selangor Sculptura Orangutan

And yet, our alpha male, identified by his characteristic and prominent cheek flanges, also seems to have a twinkle in his eye and just a hint of a smile.The orangutan Pongo pygmaeus belongs to the world’s four genera of great apes, as does the human species. It is the most arboreal of all great apes, with a diet consisting almost entirely of fruit. Our sensitively realised sculpture of this critically endangered animal is in brilliant finish pewter.About the collectionStreamlined objets of unmistakable symbolism and presence, with emphasis on material, form and refinement.
