Kent Melton Walt Disney TARZAN Maquette Mint condition

this item is from Burbank: Disney feature animation, 1999. 1st. VF without box. #329 of 2200 copies. Traditionally a maquette is a three dimensional model that disney animators use as reference. Walt Disney Feature Animation produced exclusive limited edition maquettes as gifts for the Disney employees that worked on the film. This maquette of Tarzan on a tree was sculpted by sculptor Kent Melton (who sculpted most of the maquettes for Feature Animation during the 1990s). Only 2,200 were made and were given to cast and crew members as a wrap party gift or was only available to purchase even to some artists at disney feature animation for short period of time. 11 inches tall. The base is 6 x 9 inches. The maquette is a matte grey. A gold limitation plate on the bottom states: "Tarzan Wrap Party June 1999 Limited Edition 329/2,200." These are treasured by their owners and rarely come up for sale. highly collectible!
