- Hand carved
- Mexican ironwood
- 13inches high
- 12 inches across
- 5 inches wide
- Excellent condition
This incredible swordfish / marlin sculpture was created by Native Seri / Mexican Indians of Ironwood. It measures 13 inches high, 12 inches across and 5 inches wide. It has a large, magnificent base. Very heavy for its size. Ironwood (palo fierro) is extremely dense and so heavy it will not float. The Indians carve it using primitive tools, letting the form of the piece of wood define the finished sculpture. This one is exceptionally heavyl.
This one is really very unique, well balanced, and has gorgeous grain! Beautiful piece, in new condition. Tip: To keep ironwood looking shiny and new, polish occasionally with brown paste wax shoe polish.
