Miniature Red Squirrel by Edge Sculpture

​Miniature Red Squirrel by Matt Buckley – Edge Sculpture

​“Our native red squirrel is one of Britain’s most cherished and elusive woodland treasures, and Matt Buckley has caught its inquisitive, bushy-tailed spirit to perfection.”

​There is a wonderfully energetic, bright-eyed quality to this piece. Matt Buckley has captured the red squirrel mid-pause—perched attentively on its hind legs, claws tucked, with those signature tufted ears held high and its magnificent, sweeping tail curled up behind it.

​The rich, warm russet tones combined with soft cream accents bring incredible warmth to the sculpture. The sharp, faceted carving style translates beautifully to this smaller scale, highlighting every bit of texture in the fur and tail. It’s a delightful tribute to a iconic British species, and a magnificent finishing piece to complete the woodland group in the Miniature series.
