Punch went viral after he was abandoned at just just a few days old. His teddy became his only friend on this planet and images of their tender cuddles moved even the toughest of hearts.

The grill has been created by Homer the Jeweller. Renowned for his detailed work, he used traditional lost-wax casting to form the gold base before painstakingly hand-painting Punch and his stuffed companion.

Nevertheless it wasn’t just the sculpting that took precision.

Homer spent hours perfecting Punch’s eyes, knowing that the slightest mistake would remove the center of the piece.

‘It was all about capturing the soul of the monkey,’ he said. ‘If the eyes weren’t right, it wouldn’t feel real.’

Earlier this week, it was revealed Punch had been accepted by his troop of monkeys.
