Bespoke M Manta /1

This unique one of a kind bespoke commission is inspired by the Ducati Desert Sled motorcycle.

M is for maquette as this manta was the first off, hand carving produced. This went on to make the Alastair Gibson J manta and the 3 metre Aero manta.

The manta ray is one of the oceans most recognisable creatures and as anyone who has dived with these fish can testify to their grace and beauty. Manta rays are found in the world’s tepid oceans and are true ‘aero’ fish.
