Ostrich egg mounted on legs
Which came first: the egg or the chicken? Science seems to have solved the mystery, but this curiosity, inspired by the Surrealist movement, seems to be posing the question to us all over again! To answer it, we have created this extraordinary creature, made from a real ostrich egg, which seems to be preparing for a burlesque dance à la ‘Petit Rat de l’Opéra’! A humorous way of putting the dilemma into perspective. Golden aluminium legs on a black marble plinth
