Hand-formed from earthy clay and finished in a rich, dark glaze with warm metallic undertones, the sculpture brilliantly balances primitive folk aesthetics with sleek mid-century modern artistic expression. The artist's signature and the 1971 date are inscribed on the underside of the base, confirming its authentic origin.
