Model of a starfish (Asterias) in the highest quality and enlarged

This model is an enlarged but accurate reproduction of a starfish ( Asterias ).

The starfish model has been developed in collaboration with head of study Christian Gross, biology department. It is produced in SOMSO plastic by the manufacturer SOMSO, which is world-renowned for very high quality. This means quality materials, a sense of accuracy and longevity.

In other words: World-class craftsmanship.

Compared to a starfish, it is many times enlarged and measures 35 x 53 x 31 cm (L x W x H). It weighs 2.2 kg and cannot be separated. It is delivered on a stand, the bottom of which consists of a green plate.

Anatomically speaking, the model offers a very good opportunity to study the inside of the starfish, because the 5 evenly tapered arms are shown in different ways (see the picture on the left). The model makes it possible to study structures such as, for example, the skeleton in an arm including the fist system and the hydraulic system (the "ambulacral system").
