About Pine Cone 24-071

This elegant contemporary small tabletop sculpture is by Floyd Elzinga. The Canadian artist has become known for his use of iconic imagery in his superb metalwork.
This piece resembles the natural form of a fallen pine cone, hand forged in corten steel. The finish is highly polished and registers as silver.
