Orangutan: Endangered Wildlife Felted Alpaca Sculpture

Orangutans are great apes native to the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia. They are now found only in parts of Borneo and Sumatra, but during the Pleistocene they ranged throughout Southeast Asia and South China. Classified in the genus Pongo, orangutans were originally considered to be one species. Orangutan Wildlife Felted Alpaca Sculpture captures the stark beauty and elegant nature of this wildlife creature. It is carefully created by our expert needle felters in Arequipa, Peru. This Orangutan is part of our wildlife collection, where vast species form the web of life from the arctic to Africa. We seek to capture the true essence of each animal with special attention to shape, markings, and color. Due to the hand crafting process, each piece is original with slight variations.

What makes this special:

• Realistic details - authentic features and character carefully needle felted

• Premium alpaca fiber - softer and more artistic than traditional wool felting

• Dual display options - includes hanging loop or stands beautifully on any surface

• Handcrafted artistry - each piece individually created with attention to detail

• Perfect size - stands a few inches tall, ideal for shelves, desks, or collections

Each sculpture is lovingly created by skilled artisans in Arequipa, Peru, with faces sewn and detailed by hand. Due to the handcrafting process, every piece is unique with slight natural variations - making yours truly one-of-a-kind.

A bit of our felting history:

Lanart pioneered alpaca needle felting in Peru nearly 20 years ago, training a team of artisans in a craft that had traditionally only been practiced with wool. Today, every piece is still authentically handmade by those same skilled artisans—bringing originality, heritage, and genuine alpaca fiber to every little felted critter.
