AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Whip scorpion shaped wall sconce made by my grandfather who was a blacksmith in Piran, Slovenia from 1950s to 1990s. He avoided welding the iron so most of his works are made entirely by hand techniques (forging, cuting, chiseling ...). The hairs on the scorpions legs for instance are cut soley with the help of a blacksmith's chisel.

The item carries my grandfathers original stamp.
