Ceramic gorilla sculpture by Peter Edwards
Apr. 17 World's Largest Ceramic Gorilla Many Londoners were amazed to see what appeared to be a lifelike prize lowland gorilla tied down by ropes in the back of a lorry. Closer inspection showed that the gorilla was in fact a giant ceramic made by sculptor Peter Edwards, graduate of the Royal College of Art. Specially created for celebrated zoologist John Aspinall, the gorilla is believed to be the largest one piece ceramic model ever made outside China. It weighs some 600 lbs. The work is expected to be in existence long after the endangered species of gorilla is extinct
