Description from the seller

Stunning ancient antimony sculpture, handmade in Italy in the mid-20th century, depicting a young boy intent on catching an octopus—a symbol of intelligence and luck.

The theme of the boy or young sailor is a symbol of longing and commitment to freedom, of someone who wants to earn a living while maintaining curiosity and the dream of traveling and getting to know the world.

The sculpture’s era can most likely be traced to the 1950s, a representation of freedom and resilience in hardship.

Dimensions: 48 x 24 x 21 cm
Material: Antimony
Era: first half of the 20th century
Weight: about 7000 g
Origin: Italy
Craft: handmade
