Description

"Diablo" bronze sculpture from Sleeping Beauty. (Wolf's Head Productions/Henry Alvarez Foundry, 1990's). Rare bronze sculpture of "Maleficent's" crow, "Diablo", from Disney's classic Sleeping Beauty. Wolf's Head Productions prototype for their proposed line of Disney sculptures. Sculpted by artist Terri Temple and produced in the Henry Alvarez Foundry, less than three of these 10.5 in. tall bronzes attached to a marble base on a wooden turntable were produced and never made available to the public, making this one of the rarest pieces of "Sleeping Beauty" art ever produced. This artists' proof was retained by Henry Alvarez. The mold for this piece has been destroyed and no more will ever be produced. In fine condition. Special shipping arrangements will apply.
