Bizarre Natural Salvaged Wood Sculpture Readymade
An Extraordinary Naturally Weathered Wood Sculpture or 'Readymade'
An incredible find - a very old piece of timber, clearly once employed in a former role (perhaps a beam, joist or part of a ship), weathered, worn, pitted and eroded into a most bizarre form.
Man-made holes can be seen from its former use: it must be a good few hundred years old. Harder or knotted areas have been more resistant to erosion and have thus created 'points' or 'limbs'
Stands upright unaided, as shown.
Somewhat zoomorphic: could be interpreted as a prehistoric beast or a grotesque cockerel / bird form.
On close examination, the surface displays a myriad of worm holes....with the growth rings of the original tree still detectable.
Was almost certainly once buried deep in silt in either a river or perhaps brackish water.
This wonderful object is unrepeatable and makes for a dramatic interior design piece.
Responds well to different lighting set ups.
Not to be missed!
Dimensions -
Large and impressive, approx 75 cms tall.
Condition -
In heavily weathered condition.
Note, not suitable for vivarium, terrarium or aquarium use due to likely chemicals within wood and later (but old) application of preservative. Email or call for any further information on this item. We give great attention to each and every item we select and offer for sale, priding ourselves on the accuracy of our descriptions and research. We are very happy to provide complete and exacting condition reports (together with further photographs, where necessary) and encourage buyers to request this information prior to purchase.
Accepted payment methods are via paypal, bank transfer, personal cheque or cash.
Viewing of any item in person, prior to purchase, is always welcomed by appointment.
