It depicts a woman with grapes atop her head and what we think are elements of a wine press below her. The color and patina, which lean towards burgundy, are stupendous. The piece is double sided as well. We believe this to have come of a window, gate, or something heavy duty as the piece itself is heavy, coming at around 17 pounds of solid metal. This would be great for both indoor or outdoor and can really fit into almost any decor type. It's a conversation piece.
