The base is a polished manzanita burl, responsibly harvested only from private lands where needed for fire protection brush clearance. Direct from the John Perry Studio in California – 100% hand-made in the USA. Three sharks circle a ‘coral’ head. Each shark is about 3 inches long. They are molded in Pellucida, our proprietary resin compound that resembles Bisque porcelain, but is more durable. Mounted on a polished burlwood base, the piece stands about 5 inches tall. PLEASE NOTE: these photos are of illustrative samples. Each burl is a unique piece of nature's art, so the one you will receive will be different but of similar size and comparable beauty. It is SIGNED and comes with a CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.
