| The Sichuan takin (Budorcas taxicolor tibetana) is a subspecies of takin, a wild caprine that lives in Tibet and some Chinese provinces arround. It is a vulnerable species that share its habitat with the well known giant panda. The figure is a extraordinary handmade representation of this animal and it was presented online by Ana in August 2010. It was originally a request from Christophe, our golden monkey. For the first time Ana's sculptures were replicated and it gave the chance of many collectors being the proud owners of Ana's sculptures. I arrived in the forum some days after it and I remember comtemplating it silently as a Tibetan Budist monk! As everybody knows that Dalai Lama is a spiritual leader of Tibet, everybody should know that Santa Claus is from Poland and not from Lapland! With such an extraordinary Christmas gift is easy to reach the Nirvana state! Many thanks Ana! Below the usual poor pictures but you can find lots of nice pictures in the forum. But those are from my takin! Below also with Papo yak for size comparison, the takin is a 1:22 scale as usual in Ana's works! |

| Well, not everybody gets them as presents my friend... But i agree, even Ana doesn't have all of her models, and you have certainly two of her greatest models! _________________ http://www.collectorsquest.com/collector/1313/willybacoman
