"Looking Forward" - Abstract Metal Garden Sculpture by Jon Allen This free-standing and contemporary three-dimensional metal art sculpture reaches upward, but it also looks back at the ground as it rises. The bare metal ribbon rises up off its base, its bottom end hanging down toward the earth, and then it reaches upward with a serpentine undulation. Midway in its ascension, a spiral curls back, suggesting that there's more to this piece's motion than simply striving skyward. Dimensions: - Approximately 62"H x 12"L x 7"D including the 14" artistically textured wooden base. - Ready to secure to a patio, deck or garden stone with the included pre-drilled mounting plate for easy installation.(Screws not included) Color: All Natural Silver Please note: custom pieces are available for your size and color specifications.
