Crafted by the celebrated studio brand Copa Collection, this piece is entirely handmade, featuring an incredible tactile presence.

The sculpture showcases a stylized, openwork Magen David (Star of David) fashioned from organic, molten-welded brass panels. A heavy-gauge, fluidly coiled brass wire rises dynamically through the center of the star, creating a beautiful interplay of geometric and biomorphic lines. The free-form textured base is anchored by an embedded raw, unpolished Brazilian amethyst crystal chunk alongside subtle mixed copper accents, delivering the distinctive "wearable art for the home" signature that defines the Copa studio's aesthetic. The underside retains its original metallic gold "Made in Brazil / Copa Collection" studio foil label.

Design Significance & Aesthetic Appeal
This piece embodies the expressive energy of the Mid-Century Latin American Brutalist movement. Moving away from the sterile lines of traditional modernism, the work of the Copa Collection priorities texture, raw geologic elements, and sculptural irregularity. Its torch-wrought brass form and inclusion of unpolished amethyst speak directly to the 1970s desire for earth-centric, organic opulence. For interior designers, this object offers an ideal touch of narrative-rich "jewelry for the home," working beautifully across Eclectic Modern, Hollywood Regency, or Post-Modern minimalist spaces.

Curator's Note
A masterclass in miniature modernism, this 1970s torch-welded brass Star of David sculpture by Brazil’s famed Copa Collection grounds any tabletop, shelf, or executive desk with sophisticated, tactile weight. Anchored by a stunning, raw purple amethyst crystal, its brutalist composition bridges the gap between sacred symbolism and avant-garde art. It serves beautifully as an eye-catching statement piece in a curated bookcase or a sophisticated vignette. See less
