The figure has a lean, elongated silhouette and is dressed in a metallic-bronze leopard print wrap with raw, frayed edges that give it an organic, lived-in feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe construction starts with a wire armature, which has been tightly bound in copper-toned textile fibers to create the textured look of the limbs. It’s finished with a deep mahogany-colored headwrap and mounted on a simple, heavy-duty black steel stand. Because of the Paverpol process, the fabric feels rock-hard to the touch despite looking like soft draped cloth. It’s a sturdy, well-made decorative piece that fits well in a space with a more global or eclectic vibe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e• Maker\/Artist: Studio-made (unsigned)\u003cbr\u003e• Technique: Paverpol (Hardened Textile)\u003cbr\u003e• Materials: Stiffened cotton and jersey fabrics, metallic pigments, wire armature, steel base.\u003cbr\u003e• Dimensions: 15\" H x 6.5\" W x 7\" D\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eCondition: The sculpture is structurally sound and the fabric is rock-hard. Please note that this piece has a matte, \"found object\" patina rather than a shiny, new finish; there is some light, integrated dust in the crevices of the fabric folds and headwrap that adds to its weathered, vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Gilded Fossicker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53214824399029,"sku":"Unassigned","price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1029\/1327\/8133\/files\/p1_e5d0d7ca-baed-4bb3-b920-3636fb308c2d.jpg?v=1788581266","url":"https:\/\/thegildedfossicker.com\/products\/seated-figure-in-leopard-print-15-paverpol-textile-sculpture-5af5a01b","provider":"The Gilded Fossicker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
