A vintage Enesco imports wall hanging from 1974 that features a whimsical metal scene with a tree, bicycle, and figures.
The hand soldered and arranged brass rod sculpture has a rich copper patina. The scene is of people on the street by a bicycle and kiosk in the shelter of a tree and has a very Brutalist look.
A foil label in the shape of a Chinese junk on the kiosk back reads MADE IN HONG KONG ENESCO IMPORTS CORP. There is also an embossed plaque on the back that reads ENESCO IMPORTS CORP. © 1974.
