Based on the original statue at the Crystal Palace Park

This plush is made of custom printed short velvet fabric to my own design, sewn and stuffed with polyester stuffing, plastic beans and feature plastic safety eyes. They are 36cm long.

These plushies will come with a certificate of authenticity, detailling their species, the date they were made and proving that they are an original Palaeoplushie handmade in Scotland by Rebecca Groom.

As this is a hand made item, it is not intended for children and is designed to be an art piece for adults. As they are stitched by machine, they won't fall apart if handled roughly but have not passed the relevant safety standards to be sold as a child's toy.

The pattern for these plushies was designed by Rebecca Groom based on photos of the original victorian concrete sculpture by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, which lives in the Crystal Palace Park.

There are two options available:

• “Classic Grey” - The current weathered grey concrete look

• ”70s red” - The look this statue had during the 70s
