The sculpture depicts a 1950s Jazz scene with Dancers and Musicians, in the iconic style of Frederic Weinberg.

The figures are raised, finished in either a shiny brass or copper overlay and surrounded by geometric and random lined designs, scored into the metal.

This abstract linear scoring, featured prominently in high-end art and fabric design, in the 1950s.

The brutalist background, possibly made from a heavy gauge aluminum, has random areas colored brass and silver with industrially oxidized sections of darker gray to black coloration.

There is a clef shaped cut out on the bottom right

This unusual, 2 foot long work of art is faintly hand signed and numbered, by the Israeli artist, A. N. Oppenheim, on the original paper tag, attached to the back.
