Introducing the Scavengers Teddy! This adorable miniature is a play on the Scavengers Daughter, a 16th century torture device that was designed to have the opposite effect to the rack, whereby the victim was compressed as opposed to being stretched.
I am captivated by how the history of its counterpart is mitigated by its un-intimidating size and doe-eyed cuteness. The notion of macabre and curious in contrast with whimsy.
The Scavengers Teddy sits upright on its own so it’s easy to display. Alternatively, the device can be separated from the teddy and hung as wall art. Whichever way you choose to display this playful creation, it makes a fabulous talking point!
Material: Mild steel and copper
Finish: Raw linseed oil
Approximate dimensions: 30cm x 18cm (without teddy), 30cm x 24cm (including teddy)
Available to purchase with or without the teddy bear.
