Artist Lee Downey’s fascination with skeletons, fossils and natural specimens infuse his art and his vision. Throughout history, symbolic meaning has been attached to the human skull. In ancient societies, skulls represented life, the honoring of humanity in the flesh, and human consciousness. Crafted with a fixed jaw (does not move), and with a hollow interior, like a human skull, this spectacularly decorated hand-made piece is Number 11 of a limited edition of only 48 produced.
As a medium for art, Stainless Steel’s resistance to corrosion and staining, low maintenance, and spectacular luster make it ideal.
