Description

Hand-sculpted, life-size Tyrannosaurus Rex skull fossil replica by Unfound Creations.

A bespoke one-off sculptural artwork designed as a centrepiece for large atriums, double-height spaces, private galleries, and architect-designed homes. This is not décor, but a statement installation intended to anchor a space.

Overview

  • Hand sculpted (not mass-produced). No 3d printing, scanning or CNC machining. Research, planning, production and finishing happened over the course of a year. Please see some of the making-of videos if interested. This was a true labour of love.
  • Glass fibre reinforced concrete (GRC)
  • Real bronze powder finish, polyurethane sealed
  • Custom rock-effect GRC base
  • Internal steel post
  • Hidden heavy-duty polyurethane casters
  • Fully mobile on level surfaces
  • One-off artwork — no moulds, no reproductions

Dimensions & weight

  • Skull: approx. 1600mm (L) x 900mm (W)
  • Overall height incl. base: approx. 2 metres
  • Approx 250kg total

Materials & Finish

Sculpted in GRC for strength and fine surface detail. The bronze powder finish produces a warm metallic patina. The rock base conceals the steel structure and casters for clean presentation.

Anatomical Reference

Referenced against major T-rex skulls including Sue, Scotty, Stan, Tristan Otto, and Peter. Accuracy sits within museum-grade expectations; any minor deviations would be indiscernible to non-palaeontologists.

Ideal For

  • Atriums and architect-designed residences
  • Corporate foyers and galleries
  • Design-led commercial interiors

Primarily intended for indoor display; materials also allow outdoor placement with appropriate care.

Location & Installation
