The youtube link below will take you to a video of this beautiful sculpture. Please watch and enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usgmWqCvh_M The bronze skull is displayed on a custom-fit black base, made from wood and steel. The sculpture has been signed by our designer Jake Richmond SUSTAINABILITY Our bronze sculptures are made from upcycled metals such as old pipelines. Our craftsmen and women collect this scrap waste which they then put in an oven at very high temperatures. Once the scrap waste pieces melt, the new raw material is ready to be used. We then use this virgin material to make our bronze sculptures. As bronze is a very eco and labour-intensive material to mine, we feel it makes much more sense to reuse the material that has already been created than to extract it – again. By doing so we are trying to close at least one waste loop. TRANSPARENCY & WHO MADE IT Lastly, when it comes to our working conditions, we work exclusively with Indonesian craftsmen and women in both Bali and Java. This piece specifically was made in Java, Indonesia. All of our craftsmen and women get paid a living wage that exceeds what Indonesian Law requires. Their income is enough for a comfortable home, food, education, ceremonies, and more. DIMENSIONS Height: 20 cm / 8 inches Width: 17 cm / 7 inches Length: 29 cm / 11.5 inches Weight: 2700 gr / 6 pounds A beautiful Babirusa sculpture made from polished bronze. The skull has been polished, which is what gives it its golden glow. This sculpture is part of our Eternity of Remarkable Species collection where we capture the astonishing beauty of endangered animals in a static state. Well aware of the direct impact of mankind on the environment, we create respectful alternatives to the authentic vulnerable species, such as the Babi Rusa. Just as enchanting, less of an impact. SUSTAINABILITY Our bronzes are made from upcycled metals, such as pipelines and other parts. Our craftsmen collect these leftover materials and put them in an oven with temperatures so high that they melt to create the raw material, which we can use again for our bronze sculptures. As bronze is a very eco- and labour- intensive material to mine, we feel it makes much more sense to reuse the material that has already been created than to extract it – again.
