Modern art with an ancient soul. This small wall piece is hand-built from rich terracotta clay and carved in layered relief to suggest a face in a few bold gestures. A raised loop forms the eye, a clean ridge becomes the nose, and sweeping grooves fall like hair. A soft curve sits below as the mouth. It's abstract enough to feel architectural, but it still has a personality you'll notice every time you walk by.
Left unglazed, the clay keeps its warm, sun-baked color and velvety matte surface, and every carved line and tool mark shows the maker's hand. A small hole on the back makes it easy to hang on a single nail, and it also looks lovely propped on a shelf or tucked into a vignette. The studio's maker's mark is stamped on the back. Each relief is shaped individually, so no two faces are quite alike.
Unglazed clay is porous; intended for decorative use only.
Approx. 5” Diameter x 0.9”D
