An elongated arm rises from the polished square base to an expressive open palm, creating a dramatic silhouette from every viewing angle. The dark bronze-black finish, visible cast texture and transparent sphere combine metal, stone and glass in a bold Postmodern sculptural form.

Its scale makes it especially suited to an entry console, pedestal, luxury living room, executive office, gallery-inspired interior or professionally designed commercial space.
