Sculpture Of A Hominid Specimen In Glazed Sandstone – Collection – Cabinet Of Curiosities – 20th Century

This work, with its singular aesthetic, is a powerful anatomical and artistic study of the primitive skull, evoking an almost biomechanical and futuristic universe. Its patina and structure recall the iconic creations of dark and organic science fiction. Presented as a collector's item, this high-fire glazed stoneware brilliantly simulates the fossilization process. The surface is enlivened by a complex interplay of reactive glazes: a deep brown base punctuated with verdigris efflorescence, evoking the mineralization of archaeological remains. Despite its intimate size, the vigorous modeling of the eye sockets gives this piece an almost totemic presence. The object is enhanced by a cubic base of blackened wood. Unique piece. Excellent condition. Dimensions: W 18 cm x H 5 cm x D 10 cm. Free shipping within France and Corsica.
