I was at a show this weekend and I saw this piece and I had to have it. It's in aluminum. I was told it appeared to have been struck with the...
Sent mine ;)
Lady Liberty looks like she spent a few nights at Chernobyl... Cool piece!
As did I... It's really peculiar. The price was right and I took a chance even if I never figure it out... it's a neat little thing.
