Twisted Steel Fleur de Lis, wall hanging sculpture - Hurricane Katrina- New Orleans-Slidell

Description

This limited edition steel wall hanging Twisted Fleur de Lis sculpture was inspired by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The piece is cut from 3/16" thick steel, is 17.5" tall x 16" wide and it is twisted to suggest the extreme rotational force of Hurricane Katrina. The colors are achieved using only heat, metal and rust. The date 8.29.05 is stamped on the front and the series number and signature is on the back. Brackets are welded to the back to allow hanging on a wall with a hook or a nail. The sculpture mounts 3/4" from the wall. A clear coating is applied to prevent rust when installed in interior environments.

Several finish options are available including a bare rusted patina which is shown in one of the photos and continue to weather in an exterior installation. Please inquire about finish options.
