Artist, American, 1915 - 2003

The sculpture depicts a volute or scroll-like design. It is composed of flowing, curved lines and forms. The material appears to be wood, distinguished by its grain and texture, and the color is a natural aged beige with hints of weathering. The sculpture has a smooth surface with visible cracks and joins. In relation to us, it looks like an ornamental fragment.
