Amazing Claudio Jimenez Peruvian Mixed Media Retablo Signed long to the way it unfolds

to the way it unfolds like a sculpture from 360 degrees

I have seen images of orange vessels just like these topped with highly stylized pointy lids ending in exaggerated bulbous tips

Overall: 9 1/8" x 6 1/8"

The post is black-painted wood with a slit running most of its length into which the metal flag is inserted

Just a fun thing to have around

Amazing Claudio Jimenez Peruvian Mixed Media Retablo Signed long to the way it unfoldsWhat a thing!
