Small Decorative Fish, Metal Wall Hanging Decorations, Indoor or Outdoor Display, Handmade in Haiti, 14 x 8 and 5 x 5…

Description

The traditional Haitian method of creating metal sculptures from discarded oil drums has changed very little since the technique was once first developed by Georges Liataud in the 1950’s. To begin, the drums are burned out, cleaned up, sanded down and pounded flat. Next, the artist chalks his intended design onto the prepared metal and begins the heavy and tedious work of cutting and detailing, the use of only a hammer and chisel. In spite of everything, the sculpture is sealed with a weather-proof finish, so that the sculpture may be displayed easily indoors or out.Worried that your metal sculpture will rust if exposed to the elements? Don’t be. Your sculpture comes with a weather-proof coating so as to wear off over the years, but you’ll be able to protect it easily by spending 5 minutes once a year to spray it with clear enamel available at your local hardware store.

These fish can also be displayed in different ways with one loose fish that may be “trailing at the back of the school!” This beautiful, hand crafted wall art is made in Haiti. Fashioned from an old oil drum, the Haitian artist (Patrick Bernard) has hand cut and chiseled this design. Beautiful design features lovely texture and detail. Handmade/Fair Trade.
These fish are easy to hang by placing a nail in the holes provided. This particular set is great because you’ll be able to arrange the fish in a variety of ways!
