Cast Iron Ornament – Tadpole (OUT OF STOCK)

Description

Curator’s Notes

This piece is intriguing because it’s in that gray zone between art and design. Many see that intersection between the two as different disciplines but when I look at Miya’s cast iron ornaments, I can’t help but think that they defy classic boundaries. The Tadpole is the rarest of the ornaments in this series and needless to say, we’re thrilled to now offer it as a completion to the set!
