Lizzy the Lizard mascot, Sydney 2000 Paralympics

3D Model

The frill of the lizard is green and gold and in the shape of Australia and the ochre coloured body represents the land. Lizzy represented the strength, determination and attitude of the Paralympic athletes participating at the Sydney 2000 Games. This mascot was donated to NPHT by our Trustee, Sue Wolstenholme OBE.

Dimensions: H 16cm, W22cm, L 25.5cm

Created through the [Digital Explorations Project] (https://www.paralympicheritage.org.uk/digital-explorations-project), a dynamic project, funded by the Rothschild Foundation, National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Paralympic Heritage Trust (NPHT) with support from Heart of Bucks. Groups of participants from local disability organisations have been trained in the use of a 3D scanner and photogrammetry. They have shared the skills that they have learnt with students from a SEND school to create a 3D virtual exhibition of items from the NPHT collection.
