Father Earth - Bas Relief Sculpture by Richard Arfsten

Father Earth

This bas relief sculpture was the result of several experimental casting processes. The face was modeled in wax and the leaves were taken from a variety of foliage native to Birmingham, Alabama, where the piece was cast.

This piece is cast iron and is currently one-of-a-kind, but I would consider making it as a bronze limited edition.

I am offering the original for $4,500. If someone purchases it before an order for a limited edition is taken, I will not proceed with casting the edition. This will increase the value of the original tremendously.

Please read the Terms of Sale for additional information.

(Black carbon finish - for indoor use. It will rust if used outdoors.)

Due to variations in monitors, actual artwork may vary slightly in color than what appears on your screen.
