Notes: Petrified Kauri wood base is estimated to be 25,000 years old. Origin of the material is Coromandel Peninsula, North Island, New Zealand. 
Sculpture is in two parts. The bronze Octopus is removable from its base.

The process by which the casting was achieved is the 'lost wax' process. The Octopus was cast in many individual parts, then assembled by welding these components together.
