This is a very unique sculpture, looking like some combination of Witco style and Cubism. It is signed Cortez near the bottom of the front, but I don’t have any more info on them. It is overall 29 tall, consisting of a wood carving sitting on a twisted brass pipe that is mounted to a piece of granite. It weighs 12 lbs. 7.5 oz, with most of the weight due to the base, which is 6.5″ x 6.5″ x 2 3/8. By itself, the wood is a bit under 24″ x 3″ x 3. The wood has light wear with scratches and small chips. The base has a polished top, but the four sides are not polished, and one has a stain. It has some small and tiny chips. The wood is currently at a slight angle. It could probably be straightened by bending the twisted brass pipe. The wood is not fixed to the pipe; it just sits using gravity. It moves back and forth when tapped, so it also qualifies as a piece of kinetic art. The sculpture has a hole through it, which looks like it was part of the wood before it was carved. One of the bends of the brass pipe has a couple of cracks. One of the rubber feet is missing from the bottom.
