Overlapping brass panels gather at a small crown and curve inward toward the rim, each scored with fine vertical ribbing and finished with a flame-cut edge, the irregular burned line that defines his Brutalist metalwork. Every edge was cut by hand with a torch, so no two Poppies are quite alike. Light escapes between the layered panels and through the openings along their edges as well as down through the open base. Inside, a printed foil label reads “holm sørensen & co. / Made in Denmark,” the firm’s original name. It has been newly rewired. This piece has an attribution mark,
