PREDATOR AND PREY, FACE TO FACE · staring marathon no. 1
Hand-Painted Detail
Every scale, feather and marking is painted by hand to match the real animal — so detailed up close, so charming on the shelf.
Ready to Display
A single, sturdy piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its pose, ready to collect and show off.
In a staring contest, the rule is simple: whoever looks away first loses. Nasreddin, a hulking mandrill with a rainbow face, has met his match in Tutu, a leopard cub whose grin is far too big for his little spotted head.
The Most Colorful Monkey
Male mandrills wear a scarlet stripe down the nose framed by ridged sky-blue cheeks, plus a golden beard. That makes them among the most colorful mammals on Earth — and the largest monkeys of all.
An Unlikely Pair
In the forests of west-central Africa, the leopard is the mandrill’s main natural predator. That makes this standoff between a big monkey and a baby leopard extra funny.
Two Pieces, One Story
Nasreddin stands about 9 cm tall and Tutu just 4.5 cm. The cub’s cheeky grin goes up against a monkey twice his height.
A Studio Collaboration
The Staring Marathon is a collaboration between Animal Heavenly Body and the Chinese art studio Nest Art. Nest Art is known for its wide-eyed, staring animal characters.
