About the Item

Welded, brazed, copper (based on the weight, this might be iron or bronze) with colorful inset enamel plaques on a painted wood base. A studio handmade Brutalist sculpture in a manner reminiscent of Marcello Fantoni and Guido Gambone. This is not signed and it might be French. I am pretty sure it is from Europe from the estate where it came to us. It is similar in style to Curtis Jere, James Bearden and Silas Seandel. We did not find a signature. It is not signed or dated anywhere.
