This striking 9-inch sculpture embodies the minimalist spirit of the Mid-Century Modern era. The figure is cast in solid bronze and finished with a rich, textured verdigris patina that provides a vibrant contrast to the underlying dark metal. The design is abstract and faceless, focusing on the heavy, draped lines of the cloak or habit. Its tall, slender profile and weighted base make it a sophisticated accent piece for any Brutalist or Modernist interior.
**Note that the piece is top-heavy and does not stand well unsupported**
