Manis Tetradactyla ²⁰¹⁹

This work is named after the Manis tetradactyla, a species of pangolin. The shape is somewhere between a gigantic knot and a hybrid, reptile-like creature without beginning or end. The sculpture gives an impression of power, while it is actually made from fragile porcelain.
The nearly 7,000 scales are handmade. Some are made of biscuit porcelain, others are glazed. Consequently, you cannot really tell whether this is one creature, or several.
