About this piece
As cities grew on the metal world, disagreements grew with them, and this figure took it upon himself to settle them, standing watch beside the old holding post at the edge of town, a barred window cut right into the metal beside him. He's rendered in brighter tones than most of the collection — blue through the torso, warm orange through the legs — a small visual signal that he stood apart from the crowd on purpose. This handcrafted wire art piece doubles as a functional bookend, with the figure positioned beside a flat metal panel cut with a small barred window shape, sturdy enough to hold up a real stack of books on a shelf or desk. Every bend in his colored wire frame and the panel beside him were shaped entirely by hand, making this a genuine one-of-a-kind wire sculpture rather than a repeated casting. It's a natural gift for law enforcement, western fans, or anyone who wants their bookshelf to do a little more work. As a collectible wire figurine that's also genuinely useful, this handmade metal figurine makes a distinctive, unique wire art gift.
