This is an old, rusty, cylindrical iron object. The texture of the iron, exposed to the elements for many years, is wonderful. The rust is not the kind that comes off on your hands, but rather a settled, stable rust. This is a modern, avant-garde art object with the deep flavor of old iron. How about it, if you like it? Please note that the glass base is not included. - Material: Iron - Shape: Cylindrical - Condition: Rusty surface Thank you for looking.
