Condition
Overall very good original condition. This sculpture was specifically commissioned by the New Jersey family for display of two works from their collection. The posts that are part of the work, were executed to display the objects. The laurel used to execute this piece is rich in tone and deeply figured. With two edge losses measuring approximately 2 inches in length, which are difficult to see once the piece has been properly affixed to the wall. The reverse of the piece with a beveled hole for disguising the hanging hardware. A unique work that could serve as a display piece, or as a hat or key rack.
