WOW they look so realistic. Sandicast, Inc. magically captures the inner spirit of the animal kingdom like no other company, making them the leading manufacturer of hand-cast animal sculptures. The company was founded in 1981 when artist Sandra Brue realized her dream of combining her artistic talent with her lifelong love of animals. Because of the exceptional quality of his work, collectors around the world now follow the demand for Sandicast animal sculptures. Queen Elizabeth and President Clinton are just a few of the many celebrities who have Sandicast pets. Sandra has sculpted more than 400 animals; the Sandicast collection includes everything from dogs and cats to exotic wildlife. Each piece is sculpted and painted by hand and practically comes to life when the glowing glass eyes are inserted. What makes Sandicast unique is that not only are there multiple sizes of sculpts to choose from (life size, pet size, full size, medium and small), but there are also a variety of animal poses available for each breed of dog - standing, sitting, cute, lying down, lying on its side, reclining and crouching - each with its own distinctive expression. Sandicast invites you to discover their exquisite collection of hand-modeled animals available on Amazon.
