WINDSTONE
EDITIONS "BROWN BENGAL PUFFIN" KITTEN This is our “Puffin” kitten figurine, painted in the
colors of a “Brown Bengal” cat. This
color is Limited Production, meaning we will continue to paint more as needed,
but may retire the color at any time. Bengal cats are a breed of cat produced by hybridizing
domestic cats and Asian Leopard cats (a small species of wild cat). “Brown Bengals” (also called “Brown
Tabby Bengals”) have black markings on a background coat color that can range anywhere
from pale beige to a deep reddish-brown.
Brown Bengal is the most common Bengal cat color, although they can come
in many other colors too. Many of these
cats (like this one) have black rosette-shaped spots with darker centers that
makes them look just like little leopards. This three week old kitten is airbrushed in white and
orangish brown with black rosettes and spots on his sides and dark stripes down
his back. He is lightly antiqued with grey to bring out his rough stone
finish. He has a hand-painted pink nose
and his eyes are painted dark (he does not have glass eyes). This cat is mint and has a hang tag and measures
approximately 3" tall and 3-1/4" wide. He ships in his original box direct from our
Windstone factory in Oregon. This piece is not signed or numbered. For indoor use only. PLEASE
NOTE - The cat you receive will not be identical to the one
pictured here, though it will be extremely similar. The markings on these cats were all painted
on free-hand without the use of stencils, so each one will be a little
different. If you have questions, you can email: ebay@windstoneeditions.com ,

order the same day it was won, but we will ship it as quickly as possible. - - - About Us Since 1984, museum-quality reproductions of Melody Peña’s
sculptures have been perfectly cast in natural mineral stone and meticulously
hand-painted in our North Hollywood, California studios (recently relocated to
Oregon). At the heart of every piece created by master sculptor M.
Peña is the artist’s passion for living creatures. This passion, coupled with a lifelong study
of animal behavior and anatomy, and an astonishing gift for three-dimensional
art, results in sculpture so intriguing and lifelike it is without equal. Growing up in California, Peña surrounded herself with
animals. Keeping more than two dozen
aquariums in her childhood bedroom, a pet toad in a wastebasket, and a chicken
in a bucket, her collection of pets soon became the subjects of her artwork. In college, Peña studied biology and zoology in addition
to painting, drawing, and sculpture. Today, the artist is never far from her animals--they are
the living well from which Peña draws inspiration and the models for the
incredibly accurate detail in her work. |
