• Material and manufacture: Made in folk art or art crafts from cut, repoussed, assembled and welded metal sheets. The metal has a dark brushed or flame patina.

• Design: The distinctive eyes of the statuette are made from large beads or spheres in resin (or lucite) in amber/honey color, framed by perforated metal reminiscent of bottle caps or gears.

• Artistic style: This type of raw metal creation is heavily inspired by the work of the famous American design house Artisan House, founded by artists Curtis Jere (Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels)
