This is an Inukshuk “sculpture” that I created to test out Shapeways new ceramic material a few months ago. It was a test for Shapeways, too, and the material has been temporarily suspended while they determine if it will be brought back. So, for the time being, and maybe forever, this is the only model that exists…

Shapeways.com – the company that prints my designs – just recently introduced .925 silver as a new material they offer. They put together a gallery of items they have printed in silver and my Bucephalus Horse was one of them! It looks great, I think. Direct link to the model in my shop.
Bucephalus Horse in .925 Silver
Sorry, not for sale.
Bucephalus or Buchephalas (Ancient Greek: Βουκέφαλος, from βούς bous, “ox” and κεφαλή kephalē, “head” meaning “ox-head”) (c. 355 BC – June 326 BC) was Alexander the Great’s horse and one of the most famous actual horses of antiquity.[1] Ancient accounts[2] state that Bucephalus died after the Battle of the Hydaspes in 326 BC, in what is now modern Pakistan, and is buried in Jalalpur Sharif outside of Jhelum, Pakistan.
