A striking 13-inch maritime art piece, it was designed by the celebrated California studio metal artist Yosi and features his elegant cursive signature beautifully hand-painted directly onto the top matrix of the stone base.

The sails and hull feature stylized torch-cut metalwork with crisp, contrasting lines and characteristic studio-etched oxidation speckles across the brass faces. The vessel is beautifully rigged with delicate copper wire accents and stands tall on a rustic, rough-cut stone matrix complete with felt bottom pads to shield your tabletop surfaces. Standing at a prominent 13 inches tall, this sculpture moves past simple bookshelf decor to become a true statement piece for a coastal console table, an executive office desk, or an upscale retro bar cart.
