Inspired by Australia’s smallest penguin species, this playful sculpture pairs gentle humour with meticulous craftsmanship.

The rounded form of a licensed, ethically sourced emu egg forms the penguin’s body, complemented by hand-cast sterling silver details and hand-carved Tasmanian Blackwood elements. Cabochon blue sapphire eyes add personality and exceptionality.

This highly collectable piece is part of a playful yet refined series of sculptural objets d’art celebrating Australia’s unique wildlife—including the Platypus, Bilby, Fairy Penguin, Koala, Wombat and Cockatoo.

Each sculpture has been meticulously crafted by the master silversmiths of W.J. Sanders: from silver casting to gemstone setting, every stage is completed by hand. Individually made and naturally unique, no two pieces are identical.
