Little Bum, a contemporary stoneware sculpture in black, bronze, gold and brown, hand-built with a cratered textured body and a gold midline accent, measuring 56 cm high, 47.5 cm wide and 9 cm deep, weighing 7.1 kg, unsigned and in excellent condition.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful, large-scale contemporary sculpture. It is a really striking, exhibition-sized piece that blends an abstract human figure with unique geometric designs. What makes it so special is its ultra-slim profile, it stands 56 cm tall and 47.5 cm wide, but it is only 9 cm deep, giving it an amazing shield-like presence when viewed from the side.

Materials & Details (As far as I can tell):
Please note that the piece is completely unsigned, and I do not know the original artist or the exact composition. However, looking at the textures, it appears to be a hand-built piece of studio art pottery made from a dark, heavily textured clay body (likely grogged stoneware) .The main circular body has a wonderful rough, cratered texture with engraved geometric lines, highlighted by a bright, reflective gold-coloured accent running down the middle .In contrast, the smooth head and the legs/buttocks have a dark, chocolate-brown finish that feels almost metallic.

Dimensions:
Height: 56 cm
Width: 47.5 cm
Depth: 9 cm

Condition:
The sculpture is in excellent shape. There are no cracks, chips, or restorations that I can see. Because it is handmade, there are natural variations in the texture and surface, which are just part of how the artist made it. I don't have its origin story, so I am selling it exactly as-is. Please take a close look at all the high-resolution photos to judge the texture, colours, and condition for yourself. It will be packed very carefully for transit.
