Know before you buy
The sculpture is crafted from a durable, high-quality material designed to maintain its deep black finish and structural integrity over time.
The piece features a smooth, matte black finish that absorbs light, emphasizing the dramatic silhouette and the intricate detail of the open-mouthed pose.
This piece is specifically designed for interior decoration. We recommend keeping it in a climate-controlled indoor environment to preserve the finish and material quality.
To keep the sculpture looking its best, simply dust it periodically with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the matte finish.
No assembly is required. The piece arrives as a single, solid unit ready to be placed on your shelf, console, or coffee table.
